A certain brand of flood lamps has a lifetime that is normally distributed with a mean of 3,750 hours and a standard deviation o

f 300 hours. SKETCH
a.What is the probability that a lamp will last for more than 4,000 hours?
b.What is the probability that a lamp will last less than 3,000 hours?
c.What lifetime should the manufacturer advertise for these lamps in order that only 4% of the lamps will burn out before the advertised lifetime?

Given that mean=3750 hours and standard deviation is 300:
Then:
<span>a. The probability that a lamp will last for more than 4,000 hours?
P(x>4000)=1-P(x<4000)
but
P(x<4000)=P(z<Z)
where:
z=(x-</span>μ)/σ
z=(4000-3750)/300
z=0.833333
thus
P(x<4000)=P(z<0.8333)=0.7967
thus
P(x>4000)=1-0.7967=0.2033

<span>b.What is the probability that a lamp will last less than 3,000 hours?
P(x<3000)=P(z<Z)
Z=(3000-3750)/300
z=-2.5
thus
P(x<3000)=P(z<-2.5)=0.0062

c. </span><span>.What lifetime should the manufacturer advertise for these lamps in order that only 4% of the lamps will burn out before the advertised lifetime?
the life time will be found as follows:
let the value be x
the value of z corresponding to 0.04 is z=-2.65
thus
using the formula for z-score:
-2.65=(x-3750)/300
solving for x we get:
-750=x-3750
x=-750+3750
x=3000</span>

Which expression represents exponential decay
Lelu [443]

Given:

The exponential equations in the options.

To find:

The equation which represents exponential decay.

Solution:

The general exponential equation is

y=ab^x

where, a is initial value and b is growth rate.

If b<1, then it is an equation of exponential decay.

If b>1, then it is an equation of exponential growth.

In option A, b=31>1, i.e., exponential growth.

In option B, b=3.1>1, i.e., exponential growth.

In option C, b=0.13<1, i.e., exponential decay.

In option D, b=1.03>1, i.e., exponential growth.

Only y=10(0.13)^x represents exponential decay.

Therefore, the correct option is C.
