The normal distribution An automobile battery manufacturer offers a 31/54 warranty on its batteries. The first number in the war

ranty code is the free-replacement period; the second number is the prorated-credit period. Under this warranty, if a battery fails within 31 months of purchase, the manufacturer replaces the battery at no charge to the consumer. If the battery fails after 31 months but within 54 months, the manufacturer provides a prorated credit toward the purchase of a new battery. The manufacturer assumes that x, the lifetime of its auto batteries, is normally distributed with a mean of 45 months and a standard deviation of 5.6 months. Use the following Distributions tool to help you answer the questions that follow. (Hint: When you adjust the parameters of a distribution, you must reposition the vertical line (or lines) for the correct areas to be displayed.)
1. If the manufacturer's assumptions are correct, it would reed to replace _______ of its batteries free.
2. The company finds that it is replacing 1.07% of its batteries free of charge. It suspects that its assumption standard deviation of the life of its batteries is incorrect. A standard deviation of ____ results in a 1.07% replacement rate.
3. Using the revised standard deviation for battery life, what percentage of the manufacturer's batteries don't free replacement but do qualify for the prorated credit?

Answer:

1) if the manufacturer's assumptions are correct, it would reed to replace 0.62% of its batteries free.

2) a standard deviation of 6.0843 results in a 1.07% replacement rate

3) using the revised standard deviation for battery life, 91.9% of the manufacturer's batteries don't get free replacement but qualifies for the prorated credit

Step-by-step explanation:

based on the given data;

x will represent the random variable such that the lifetime of its auto batteries, is normally distributed with a mean of 45 months and a standard deviation of 5.6 months

so

x → N( U = 45, ∝ = 5.6)

Under the warranty, if a battery fails within 31 months of purchase, the manufacturer replaces the battery at no charges to the consumer.

if the battery fails after 31 months but within 54 months, the manufacturer provides a prostrated credit towards the purchase of anew battery

1) If the manufacturer's assumptions are correct,

p(x < 3) = p( [x-u / ∝ ] < [ 31-45 / 5.6] )

= p( z < -2.5 )

using the standard normal table,

value of z = 0.0062 ≈ 0.62%

so if the manufacturer's assumptions are correct, it would reed to replace 0.62% of its batteries free.

2)

The company finds that it is replacing 1.07% of its batteries free of charge. It suspects that its assumption standard deviation of the life of its batteries is incorrect, so a standard deviation of ? results in a 1.07%

so lets say;

p ( x < 31 ) = ( 1.07%) = 0.0107

p ( [x-u / ∝ ] < [ 31-45 / ∝] ) = 0.0107

now from the standard table

-2.301 is 1.07%

so

( 31 - 45 / ∝ ) = -2.301

-14 / ∝ = -2.301

∝ = -14 / - 2.301

∝ = 6.0843

therefore a standard deviation of 6.0843 results in a 1.07% replacement rate

3)

Using the revised standard deviation for battery life, what percentage of the manufacturer's batteries don't free replacement but do qualify for the prorated credit?

p( 31 < x < 54 ) = p ( [31 - u / ∝ ] < [ x-u / ∝]  < [ 54 - 45 / ∝] )

= p ( [31 - 45 / 6.0843 ] < [ x-u / ∝]  < [ 54 - 45 / 6.0843] )

= p ( -2.301 < z < 1.4792 )

= p(Z < 1.5) - p(Z < -2.3)

= 0.9393 - 0.0108

= 0.919 ≈ 91.9%

therefore using the revised standard deviation for battery life, 91.9% of the manufacturer's batteries don't get free replacement but qualifies for the prorated credit

E and f are supplementary. the measure of e is 54 more than the measure of f. find the measures of each angle.
Katen [24]
Supplementary means they add up to 180

X + 54 = 180

180-54= x

X = 126

126+54=180?

Yep

So your answer is

126

Graph 1

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = __

In this equation (f(2) = 4) the 2 is the x value. All this question is asking is which graph shows a y value of 4 when x is 2.
