Explain why an observed tread wear index of 153 for a particular tire is notunusual, even though it is outside the confidence interval developed in(a).

A. It is not unusual because it is just outside the confidence interval.

B. It is not unusual because it is actually in the confidence interval.

C. It is not unusual because it is only 0.55 standard deviations above the sample mean.
