The air pressure of each tire in a group is normally distributed with a mean of 39.2 pounds per square inch (psi) and a standard deviation of 2.5. If a tire in this group has a z-score of - 1.8, find its air pressure.

    The air pressure corresponding to that z-score is 34.7 psi

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Mathematically, z-score can be calculated using the formula;

    z-score = (x-mean) / SD

    from the w, we identify the following;

    z-score = - 1.8, x = ?, mean = 39.2 psi and SD (standard deviation) = 2.5

    Plugging these values, we have;

    -1.8 = (x-39.2) / 2.5

    2.5 * - 1.8 = x - 39.2

    -4.5 = x - 39.2

    x = 39.2 - 4.5

    x = 34.7 psi
