Answer:

0.8041 = 80.41% probability that a given battery will last between 2.3 and 3.6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

A certain type of storage battery lasts, on average, 3.0 years with a standard deviation of 0.5 year

This means that \mu = 3, \sigma = 0.5

What is the probability that a given battery will last between 2.3 and 3.6 years?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 3.6 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 2.3. So

X = 3.6

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

Z = \frac{3.6 - 3}{0.5}

Z = 1.2

Z = 1.2 has a p-value of 0.8849

X = 2.3

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

Z = \frac{2.3 - 3}{0.5}

Z = -1.4

Z = -1.4 has a p-value of 0.0808

0.8849 - 0.0808 = 0.8041

0.8041 = 80.41% probability that a given battery will last between 2.3 and 3.6 years

Molly must drive across a bridge over a river eight times each week. Because the bridge is narrow and traffic is congested, Moll
oee [108]

Based on Molly's willingness to pay for the 8th trip, and the number of trips she can make over the bridge, her willingness to pay for the bridge repair would be<u> $1.00.</u>

<h3>What is Molly's willingness to pay for taxes to fix the bridge?</h3><h3 />

Molly's willingness to pay for trips is equal to the total consumer surplus she gets.

This means that her consumer surplus is $0.50.

With the bridge fixed, she can make 2 more trips than before because she can make 10 trips.

Her willingnesss to pay for the taxes will therefore be equal to her willingness to pay for the remaining trips:

= 0.50 x 2

= $1.00
