Answer:

If the lifetime of batteries in the packet is 40.83 hours or more then, it exceeds for 5% of all packages.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 15

Standard Deviation, σ = 1

Sample size = 4

Total lifetime of 4 batteries = 40 hours

We are given that the distribution of lifetime is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Standard error due to sampling:

\displaystyle\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt4} = 0.5

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.05

P(X > x)  = 0.05

P( X > x) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{x - 40}{0.5})=0.05  

= 1 -P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 40}{0.5})=0.05  

=P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{x - 40}{0.5})=0.95  

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

\displaystyle\frac{x - 40}{0.5} = 1.64\\x = 40.825 \approx 40.83  

Hence, if the lifetime of batteries in the packet is 40.83 hours or more then, it exceeds for 5% of all packages.

Which of the following expressions could give the total amount of a $45 restaurant bill with a 15% tip added on?
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Option B: 1.15($45) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total amount of restaurant bill = $45

Tip = 15%

As the bill would be 100% and a 15% tip will be added.

Thus total bill,

Total bill = (100+15)% = 115% of restaurant bill

Total bill = \frac{115}{100}(45)

Total bill = 1.15($45)

Hence,

Option B: 1.15($45) is the correct answer.
