Answer:

LCM (8,10) = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Least common multiple is the smallest number that is multiple of both the given numbers.

Example: LCM of 2 and 3 is 6 .

6 is a multiple of both 2 and 3 .

Given numbers are 8 and 10

First write both in factor form,

⇒ 8 = 2 × 2 × 2

⇒ 10 = 2 × 5

We find LCM by writing common terms one times and multiplying all terms together,

Here, 2 is common to both 8 and 10 so we write it once only.

Thus, LCM (8,10) = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 = 40.

Svetach [21]

Using the normal distribution, it is found that 25.14% of the batteries will last more than 420 hours.

<h3>Normal Probability Distribution</h3>

The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ is given by:

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

The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean.

Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.

In this problem, we have that the mean and the standard deviation are given, respectively, by:

$\mu = 400, \sigma = 30$ .

The proportion of the batteries will last more than 420 hours is <u>one subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 420</u>, hence:

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

$Z = \frac{420 - 400}{30}$

Z = 0.67

Z = 0.67 has a p-value of 0.7486.

1 - 0.7486 = 0.2514.

0.2514 = 25.14% of the batteries will last more than 420 hours.
