Answer:

1) at 24.64 months 25% of the cellphones battery will fail

2) there is a 22.66% chance it will use the warranty

3) the expected return is 16.01 dollar of gain per warranty

Explanation:

at 25% we have to look into the normal distirbution table for the Z value that acumulates that

we find out is -0.67

now we solve for X value:

\frac{X - 30}{8} = -0.67\\\frac{X - \mu}{\sigma} = P_z

X = 24.64

we solve for the provability when X = 24

we convert into a z value and look for the value inthe table

(24 - 30) / 8 = -0.75

probability = 0.226627352 = 22.66%

expected return

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}State&Return&Probability&Weight\\not use&50&0.7734&38.67\\use&-100&0.2266&-22.66\\&&&\\Total&&1&16.01\\\end{array}\right]

<span>Symbolic interactionists believe that the social value of the elderly in America decreased when the economy shifted being agricultural to industrial. 
This may be completely true - industrial era means more use of technology, and usually, the elderly aren't that keen on using new technology. This also means that they are less and less relevant when it comes to the social life in America which is always growing and developing.</span>
