Determine if tires were exceeding guarantee

Reference no: EM13118457

Newton's, a tire manufacturer, wanted to set a mileage guarantee on its new Road Warrior 60 tire. A sample test of 500 tires revealed that the tire's mileage is normally distributed with a mean of 50,000 miles and a standard deviation of 1,750 miles. The warranty on the tires is presently set at 47,500 miles. The z-test statistic result was 1.43. The manufacturer wanted to determine if the tires were exceeding the guarantee. At the .05 significant level, it was concluded that the tires are exceeding the manufacturer's guarantee.
