Answer:

option (d) 16.6 and 21.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

The mean life for a particular use before they failed = 19.0 hours

The distribution of the lives approximated a normal distribution

The standard deviation of the distribution = 1.2 hours

To find:

The values between which 95.44 percent of the batteries failed

Now,

In Normal distribution, the approximately 95% ( ≈ 95.44% of all values ) falls within 2 standard deviations of the mean

Therefore,

Upper limit = Mean + 2 × standard deviation

⇒ Upper limit = 19.0 + 2 × 1.2 = 21.4

Lower  limit = Mean - 2 × standard deviation

⇒ Lower  limit = 19 - 2 × 1.2 = 16.6

Hence,

the answer is option (d) 16.6 and 21.4

Here we go again... can someone explain how these problems work?
Effectus [21]

Answer:

x = 5 only

≡ On a graph, the point touches (5, 0), making <em>x</em> equal to 0.

≡ In other words, you must replace <em>y</em> with <em>0</em> to solve for <em>x. </em>There is no <em>y</em> term in this problem, so you must determine <em>y</em> by separating the coefficients into groups and determining each part.
