least one of his applications being rejected is 5/10. What is the probability that he
will be selected in one of the firms ?

(g) The manufacturer of a new fiberglass tire claims that its average life will be at
least 40,000 miles. To verify this claim a sample of 12 tires is tested, with their
lifetimes (in 1,000s of miles) being as follows :

Tire 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
Life 36.1 40.2 33.8 38.5 42 35.8 37 41 36.8 37.2 33 36
Test the manufacturer's claim at the 5% level of significance. Given that at 5%
level of significance, negative value of t-distribution is -1.796. (7x4)
