Answer:

2 Units

Step-by-step explanation:

THere may be easier ways to do it, but I would just convert them to rectangular and find the distance between those.

(3, -60) becomes (3cos(-60), 3sin(-60)) = (3/2, -3*sqrt(3)/2)

(-5, 105) becomes (-5cos(105), -5sin(105)) = (5/2, -5sqrt(3)/2)

Now just use the distance formula, or in other words think of the two points as being connected by a horizontal and vertical line to form a right triangle. The idea is to find the hypotenuse of that right triangle.

sqrt((3/2 - 5/2)^2 + (-3sqrt(3)/2 + 5sqrt(3)/2)^2)

sqrt((-2/2)^2 + (2*sqrt(3)/2)^2)

sqrt(1 + 3)

sqrt(4)

Answer:

The company should promote a lifetime of 3589 hours so only 2% burnout before the claimed lifetime

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:

$\mu = 4000, \sigma = 200$
