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

Umberto buys a game for $7.89 and some batteries for $5.49. He pays with a $20 bill. Which is the best estimate of change he sho
Anika [276]

The change is the remaining money that is needed to take from the seller so a change of Umberto will be $6.62.

<h3>What is subtraction?</h3>

To subtract in mathematics is to take something away from a group or a number of objects.

The group's total number of items decreases or becomes lower when we subtract from it.

Given that,

Umberto buys a game for $7.89 and some batteries for $5.49.

Total money of buying = 7.89 + 5.49 = $13.38

Now he gives a $20 bill.

Remaining (change) = 20 - 13.38

⇒ $6.62

Hence "The change of Umberto will be $6.62".
