Please Help With This Question Thank you A senior manager wishes to assess which of two models of steel-belted radials will last longer in terms of mean mileage until ‘wear out’ (tread worn to a certain depth) if used on the entire fleet of company cars. a.) Consider if a stock boy put tires of type 1 on one set of cars and type 2 on another set of cars, drive the cars until the tires are ‘worn out’ and see which set gets more mean mileage. Cite a major statistical flaw in this proposal.
