Answer

$0.1271=12.71$%

Work Step by Step

Let's find the z-score for 75,000 miles: $z=\frac{X-μ}{σ}=\frac{75000-70000}{4400}=1.14$ According to Table V, the area to the left of the standard normal curve for a z-score equal to 1.14 is 0.8729. But, we want the area to the right (tires will last at least 75,000 miles) of the standard normal curve for a z-score equal to 1.14: $1-0.8729=0.1271$
