Answer:

Probability that the calculator works properly for 74 months or more is 0.04 or 4%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the life span of a calculator has a normal distribution with a mean of 60 months and a standard deviation of 8 months.

Firstly, Let X = life span of a calculator

The z score probability distribution for is given by;

         Z = \frac{ X - \mu}{\sigma} ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean = 60 months

            \sigma = standard deviation = 8 months

Probability that the calculator works properly for 74 months or more is given by = P(X \geq 74 months)

     P(X \geq 74) = P( \frac{ X - \mu}{\sigma} \geq \frac{74-60}{8} ) = P(Z \geq 1.75) = 1 - P(Z < 1.75)

                                                   = 1 - 0.95994 = 0.04

Therefore, probability that the calculator works properly for 74 months or more is 0.04 or 4%.

Calculate the pay for the following day of a<br> weekly time card given a wage of $12.50/hr.
Elenna [48]

The one day pay is $106.25 rounded to the nearest hundredth.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

<u>From the table shown :</u>

  • The timing shown in the morning is from 8:00 to 12:15
  • The number of hours worked in the morning = 4 hours 15 minutes.

It is given that, the pay is $12.5 per hour.

Therefore, the pay earned in the morning = No.of hours × pay per hour.

⇒ 4 hours × 12.5 = $50

⇒ (15 mins / 60 mins) × 12.5 = $3.125

⇒ 50+3.125

⇒ 53.125

  • The timing shown in the afternoon is from 8:00 to 12:15
  • The number of hours worked in the morning = 4 hours 15 minutes.

Therefore, the pay earned in the afternoon = No.of hours × pay per hour.

⇒  4 hours × 12.5 = $50

⇒ (15 mins / 60 mins) × 12.5 = $3.125

⇒ 50+3.125

⇒ 53.125

The pay for 1 day = pay earned in the morning section + pay earned in the afternoon section.

⇒ 53.125 + 53.125

⇒ 106.25

∴ The one day pay is $106.25 rounded to the nearest hundredth.
