Step 1 :The 13th percentile corresponds to a z-score of -1.13. Using the z-score formula \(X = Z*\sigma + \mu\), we get \(X = -1.13*4 + 41\)
Step 2 :Calculating the above expression, we get \(X = 36.48\)
Step 3 :\(\boxed{36.48}\) thousand miles is the 13th percentile of the tire lifetimes
Step 4 :The 65th percentile corresponds to a z-score of 0.39. Using the z-score formula \(X = Z*\sigma + \mu\), we get \(X = 0.39*4 + 41\)
Step 5 :Calculating the above expression, we get \(X = 42.56\)
Step 6 :\(\boxed{42.56}\) thousand miles is the 65th percentile of the tire lifetimes
Step 7 :The first quartile corresponds to the 25th percentile, which has a z-score of -0.67. Using the z-score formula \(X = Z*\sigma + \mu\), we get \(X = -0.67*4 + 41\)
Step 8 :Calculating the above expression, we get \(X = 38.32\)
Step 9 :\(\boxed{38.32}\) thousand miles is the first quartile of the tire lifetimes
Step 10 :The 4th percentile corresponds to a z-score of -1.75. Using the z-score formula \(X = Z*\sigma + \mu\), we get \(X = -1.75*4 + 41\)
Step 11 :Calculating the above expression, we get \(X = 34\)
Step 12 :\(\boxed{34}\) thousand miles is the number of miles the company should guarantee so that only 4% of the tires violate the guarantee
