Math Problem Statement
A tire manufacturer warranties its tires to last at least 20 comma 000 miles or "you get a new set of tires." In its experience, a set of these tires last on average 28 comma 000 miles with SD 5 comma 000 miles. Assume that the wear is normally distributed. What is the probability that a set of tires wears out before 20 comma 000 miles?
