Accrotime is a manufacturer of quartz crystal watches. Accrotime researchers have shown that the watches have an average life of

26 months before certain electronic components deteriorate, causing the watch to become unreliable. The standard deviation of watch lifetimes is 4 months, and the distribution of lifetimes is normal. A button hyperlink to the SALT program that reads: Use SALT. (a) If Accrotime guarantees a full refund on any defective watch for 2 years after purchase, what percentage of total production will the company expect to replace? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. % (b) If Accrotime does not want to make refunds on more than 6% of the watches it makes, how long should the guarantee period be (to the nearest month)? months

Answer:

a

   P(X <  24 )=  21.186\%  

b

    x =  19.78 \  months

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

 The mean is   \mu  =  26 \  months

 The standard deviation is  \sigma  =  4 \  months

 Generally 2 year is  equal to  24 months

Generally the percentage of total production will the company expect to replace is mathematically represented as

      P(X <  24 )=  P(\frac{X - \mu }{ \sigma} <  \frac{24 - 26}{4}  )

Generally  \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma } =Z (The  \ standardized \  value  \  of  \  X )

     P(X <  24 )=  P(Z <  -0.8  )

Generally from the z-table  

       P(Z <  -0.8) =  0.21186

So

       P(X <  24 )=  0.21186

Converting to percentage

      P(X <  24 )=  0.21186  * 100

=>    P(X <  24 )=  21.186\%  

Generally the duration that should be the guarantee period if  Accrotime does not want to make refunds on more than 6% is mathematically evaluated as

    P(X <  x) =  P(\frac{X - \mu }{\sigma}  < \frac{x - 26}{4} )= 0.06

=> P(X <  x) =  P(Z < \frac{x - 26}{4} )= 0.06

From the normal distribution table the z-score for  0.06 at the lower tail  is

       z = -1.555

So

    \frac{x - 26}{4} = -1.555

=> x =  19.78 \  months

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale drawing is a reduced form in terms of dimensions of an original image / building / object

the scale drawing is usually reduced at a constant dimension

scale of the drawing = original dimensions / dimensions of the scale drawing

Scaled length of the pool = 50 / 5 = 10cm
