Answer:

a) 22.663%

b) 44%

c) 38.3%

Explanation:

An office manager has received a report from a consultant that includes a section on equipment replacement. The report indicates that scanners have a service life that is normally distributed with a mean of 41 months and a standard deviation of 4 months. On the basis of this information, determine the percentage of scanners that can be expected to fail in the following time periods:

We solve the above question using z score formula

z = (x-μ)/σ, where

x is the raw score

μ is the population mean = 41 months

σ is the population standard deviation = 4 months

a. Before 38 months of service

Before in z score score means less than 38 months

Hence,

z = 38 - 41/4

z = -0.75

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x<38) = 0.22663

Converting to percentage = 0.22663 × 100

= 22.663%

b. Between 40 and 45 months of service

For x = 40 months

z = 40 - 41/4

z = -0.2

Probaility value from Z-Table:

P(x =40) = 0.40129

For x = 45

z = 45 - 41/4

z = 1

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x = 45) = 0.84134

Between 40 and 45 months of service

= 0.84134 - 0.40129

= 0.44005

Converting to Percentage

= 0.44005 × 100

= 44.005%

= 44%

c. Wihin ± 2 months of the mean life

+ 2 months = 41 months + 2 months

= 43 month

- 2 months = 41 months - 2 months

= 39 months

For x = 43

z = 43 - 41 /4

z = 0.5

P-value from Z-Table:

P(x = 43) = 0.69146

For x = 39

z = 39 - 41/4

z = -2/4

z = -0.5

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x = 39) = 0.30854

Within ± 2 months of the mean life

= 0.69146 - 0.30854

= 0.38292

= 38.3%

Please help me on my discussion topic.i'll give you 20pts 
Crazy boy [7]

Artists such as Al Held, Bridget Riley etc are known for their abstract artwork or geometric artwork. Riley is famous for her optical artwork.

This art form is present among many cultures throughout the history both as decorative motifs and as art pieces themselves. Like in Islamic art, this art depicts religious figures. The optical art gives the viewer the impression of movement, hidden images, flashing and vibrating patterns. Basically it gives a disorienting effect.

Besides optical art, other abstract art forms are also famous. These imbibe a strong imagination and a sense of creativity in its viewers. This art form puts different colors, shapes, and textures together to create a finished piece that represents something in particular.

Yes, I appreciate this kind of art form because these forms are genuine and helps us understand the art patterns. Unlike the traditional form, these forms explore the relationships of forms/shapes and colors. Moreover, art always reflects culture. Therefore, abstract art is important because it is reflecting a culture that has been moving since last 2000 years.
