    Approximate number of miles for a warranty = 41,990

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Mean distribution = 48,400 miles

    Standard deviation = 5,000 miles

    Z score table less then 10% = 1.282 (according to t table)

    Approximate number of miles for a warranty = ?

    Computation of approximate number of miles for a warranty:

    Approximate number of miles for a warranty = Mean distribution + (Standard deviation = 5,000) (-Z score table less then 10%)

    Approximate number of miles for a warranty = 48,400 + (5,000) (-1.282)

    Approximate number of miles for a warranty = 48,400 - 6,410

    Approximate number of miles for a warranty = 41,990
