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.
