Answer:

Option B) 0.0013

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 1000 hours

Standard Deviation, σ = 50 hours

We are given that the distribution of life of bulb is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

P(bulb would last longer than 1150 hours)

P( x > 1150) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{1150 - 1000}{50}) = P(z > 3)

= 1 - P(z \leq 3)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x > 1150) = 1 - 0.9987 = 0.0013

0.0013 is the probability  that a randomly selected bulb would last longer than 1150 hours.

Thus, the correct answer is

Option B) 0.0013

(2) False

(3). False

(4) False

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the problem, calculation of the given data are as follows,

(1). Given,  149 + 769 = 819

By calculating 149 + 769 = 918  

Hence, False

(2). Given,  556 + 336 = 826

By calculating 556 + 336 = 892  

Hence, False

(3). Given,  458 - 248 = 238

By calculating 458 - 248 = 210  

Hence, False

(4). Given,  658 - 228 = 438

By calculating 658 - 228 = 430  

Hence, False
