Answer:

0.04% probability that a laser fails before 5000 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 7000, \sigma = 600

What is the probability that a laser fails before 5000 hours

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 5000. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{5000 - 7000}{600}

Z = -3.33

Z = -3.33 has a pvalue of 0.0004.

0.04% probability that a laser fails before 5000 hours

ANSWER

16\pi \: sq.in

EXPLANATION

The area of a sector is calculated using the formula,

Area =  \frac{arc \: measure}{360 \degree}  \times \pi {r}^{2}

The arc measure is given as 45°

The radius of the circle is 8 inches.

We substitute to obtain,

Area =  \frac{45 \degree}{360 \degree}  \times \pi  \times {8}^{2}

Area =  \frac{1}{4}  \times 64\pi  = 16\pi
