Your company manufactures hot water heaters. The life spans of your product are known to be normally distributed with a mean of

13 years and a standard deviation of 1.5 years. You want to set the warranty on your product so that you do not have to replace more than 5% of the hot water heaters that you sell. How many years should you claim on your warranty

Answer:

You should claim 10.5325 years on your warranty.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value 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. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 13, \sigma = 1.5

Want's to replace no more than 5% of the products.

This means that the warranty should be 5th percentile, that is, the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.05. So X when Z = -1.645.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

-1.645 = \frac{X - 13}{1.5}

X - 13 = -1.645*1.5

X = 10.5325

You should claim 10.5325 years on your warranty.

Answer:

108º

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the sum of interior angles: ( n − 2 ) × 180 = x

x = 540º

n = # of interior angles

first, solve for n

(n - 2) • 180 = 540                        distribute to 180 to (n - 2)

180n - 360 = 540                         add 360 to both sides

180n = 900                                  divide both sides by 180

n = 5

to find measure of each angle:

540 ÷ 5 = 108º

Triangle DEF is an isosceles, so AngleDEF Is-congruent-toAngleDFE. A horizontal line has points C, F, E, G. 2 lines extend from
zaharov [31]

Answer:

\angle CFD =105^o

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\angle D FE = \angle DE F = 75^o

See attachment

Required

Determine the measure of \angle CFD

\angle CFD and \angle DFE are on a straight line.

So:

\angle CFD + \angle DFE = 180^o --- angle on a straight line

Substitute known values

\angle CFD + 75^o = 180^o

Collect like terms

\angle CFD =- 75^o + 180^o

\angle CFD =105^o
