In a test measuring the life span of a certain brand of tire, 100 tires are tested. The results showed an average lifetime of 50,000 miles, with a standard deviation of 5000 miles. One hundred thousand of these tires have been sold and are on the road.

(b) How many tires are expected to wear out between 60,000 and 70,000 miles?
(c) How many tires are expected to have a life of less than 20,000 miles?
(d) What are your major assumptions in these calculations?
