The mean of any uniform probability distribution is _________.

The annual income for a sample of 500 part-time students is normally distributed with a mean income of $30,000 and a standard deviation of $3,000. The income range that separates the top 25% from the lower 75% is __________.

For the exponential distribution, the mean and standard deviation are equal.

Suppose a tire manufacturer wants to set a mileage guarantee on its new XB 70 tire. Tests revealed that the tire's mileage is normally distributed with a mean of 47,900 miles and a standard deviation of 2,050 miles. The manufacturer wants to set the guaranteed mileage so that no more than 5% of the tires will have to be replaced. What guaranteed mileage should the manufacturer announce?
