Answer:
A certain company makes 12-volt car batteries. After many years of product testing, the company knows that the average life of a battery is normally distributed, with a mean of 50 months and a standard deviation of 9 months. If the company does not want to make refunds for more than 10% of its batteries under the full-refund guarantee policy, for how long should the company guarantee the batteries?
The company should guarantee the batteries for 38 months.
Step-by-step explanation:
Using standard normal table,
P(Z < z) = 10%
=(Z < z) = 0.10
= P(Z <- 1.28 ) = 0.10
z = -1.28
Using z-score formula
x = zσ + μ
x = -1.28 *9+50
x = 38
Therefore, the company should guarantee the batteries for 38 months.
Since the numbers are consecutive, they must be near each other in size, and therefore near one-third of 168. And since the lower number is -2 off the middle, and the upper number is +2 from the middle, the middle number must be exactly one-third of 168—otherwise the sum of the three could never be 168. Labelling the three consecutive numbers as x, y, and z:
x + y + z = 168
(y-2) + y + (y+2) = 168.
3y = 168
y = 56
therefore the smallest number (x) = 54.

This is a linear equation y = mx, where:
m= slope or reading rate:
x = the number of minutes
y = the number of pages read.
So the equation becomes: y = 4.5.x
How many minutes it will take to read 90 pages (y):
90 = 4.5.x or x = 90/4.5 and x = 20 minutes
So the ordered pair will be (20,90)
