Tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) warn the driver when the tire pressure of the vehicle is 26%
Question:
Tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) warn the driver when the tire pressure of the vehicle is 26% below the target pressure. Suppose the target tire pressure of a certain car is 28 psi (pounds per square inch.)
(a) At what psi will the TPMS trigger a warning for this car?
(b) Suppose tire pressure is a normally distributed random variable with a standard deviation equal to 3 psi. If the car’s average tire pressure is on target, what is the probability that the TPMS will trigger a warning?
(c) The manufacturer’s recommended correct inflation range is 26 psi to 30 psi. Assume the tires’ average psi is on target. If a tire on the car is inspected at random, what is the probability that the tire’s inflation is within the recommended range?
