Answer:

Probability that a battery will last more than 19 hours is 0.0668.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the lifetime of a battery in a certain application is normally distributed with mean μ = 16 hours and standard deviation σ = 2 hours.

<em>Let X = lifetime of a battery in a certain application</em>

So, X ~ N(\mu=16,\sigma^{2} =2^{2})

The z-score probability distribution for normal distribution is given by;

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

where, \mu = mean lifetime = 16 hours

            \sigma = standard deviation = 2 hours

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) 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.

So, the probability that a battery will last more than 19 hours is given by = P(X > 19 hours)

  P(X > 19) = P( \frac{  X -\mu}{\sigma} > \frac{19-16}{2} ) = P(Z > 1.50) = 1 - P(Z \leq 1.50)

                                              = 1 - 0.9332 = 0.0668

<em>Now, in the z table the P(Z </em>\leq<em> x) or P(Z < x) is given. So, the above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.50 in the z table which has an area of 0.9332.</em>

Hence, the probability that a battery will last more than 19 hours is 0.0668.

The school's lemonade is $10\%$ lemon juice by volume, and the rest is sugar water. how many liters of lemon juice must be added
kondor19780726 [428]
The percentage of lemon in the juice is 10%
The percentage of water sugar is (100-10)=90%
The quantity of lemon in 20 liters of sugar water will be:
amount=(percentage of lemon)/(percentage of sugar water)×(amount of sugar water)
=10/90×20
=2 2/9 liters
