A relay microchip in a telecommunications satellite has a life expectancy that follows a normal distribution with a mean of 93 m

onths and a standard deviation of 3.8 months. When this computer-relay microchip malfunctions, the entire satellite is useless. A large London insurance company is going to insure the satellite for 50 million dollars. Assume that the only part of the satellite in question is the microchip. All other components will work indefinitely.
(a) For how many months should the satellite be insured to be 96% confident that it will last beyond the insurance date?

The insurance period must be chosen so that the probability of a microchip failure within that period is 4%. Reference to a standard normal distribution table shows that the z-score for a cumulative probability of 4% is -1.75.
Let the insurance period be X months:
-1.75 = (X - 93)/3.8
-6.65 = X - 93
X = 83.35 months.
The answer is 83.35 months.

Use the percent bar model to find the missing percent
Ne4ueva [31]

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. The missing percent on the bar model is equal to 12.5%.

<h3>What are Percentages?</h3>

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. such as the fraction ¼ can be described as 0.25 which is equal to 25%.

To convert a fraction to a percentage, convert the fraction to decimal form and then multiply by 100 with the '%' symbol.

On the percent bar model, above the missing percentage, the fraction is given as 1/8.

Now, the given fraction 1/8 in the form of percentage can be written as,

1/8

= 1/8 × 100%

= 0.125 × 100%

= 12.5%

Hence, the missing percent on the bar model is equal to 12.5%.
