Lifetime of a tire Assume the random variable L in Example 2f is normally distributed with mean μ = 22,000 miles and σ = 4,000 miles.
a. In a batch of 4000 tires, how many can be expected to last for at least 18,000 miles?

88. The region in Exercise 87 is revolved about the x-axis to generate a solid.

a. Find the volume of the solid.

Using different substitutions

Show that the integral

∫((x² - 1)(x + 1))^(-2/3) dx

can be evaluated with any of the following substitutions.

a. u = 1/(x + 1)

What is the value of the integral?

Consider the region bounded by the graphs of

y = ln(x), y = 0, and x = e.

a. Find the area of the region.

In Exercises 11–22, estimate the minimum number of subintervals needed to approximate the integrals with an error of magnitude less than 10^-4 by (a) the Trapezoidal Rule (The integrals in Exercises 11–18 are the integrals from Exercises 1–8.)

∫ from -1 to 1 of (t³ + 1) dt

Finding area

Find the area of the region enclosed by the curve y = x cos(x) and the x-axis (see the accompanying figure) for:

a. π/2 ≤ x ≤ 3π/2.

Finding volume: Find the volume of the solid generated by revolving the region bounded by the x-axis and the curve y = x sin(x), 0 ≤ x ≤ π, about

a. The y-axis.
