Answer:
P = 0.006
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
n = 25 Lamps
each with mean lifetime of 50 hours and standard deviation (SD) of 4 hours
Find probability that the lamp will be burning at end of 1300 hours period.
As we are not given that exact lamp, it means we have to find the probability where any of the lamp burning at the end of 1300 hours, So we have
Suppose i represents lamps
P (∑i from 1 to 25 ( > 1300)) = 1300
= P(>
) where
represents mean time of a single lamp
= P (Z> ) Z is the standard normal distribution which can be found by using the formula
Z = Mean Time () - Life time of each Lamp (50 hours)/ (SD/
)
Z = (52-50)/(4/) = 2.5
Now, P(Z>2.5) = 0.006 using the standard normal distribution table
Probability that a lamp will be burning at the end of 1300 hours period is 0.006
Answer:
Amount each friend pays for the gift = $20
Step-by-step explanation:
Market price of a gift = $70
The store manager takes $10 off the market price.
Marked down amount = $10
New cost price = Marked price - Marked down amount
The cost of the gift is divided among three friends.
This means that the cost of gift which is $60 is divided by three to get each one's contribution in the gift.
∴ Amount each friend pays for the gift
