Answer:

The warranty period should be of 32 months.

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.

Mean time before failure of 40 months with a standard deviation of 6 months.

This means that \mu = 40, \sigma = 6

What should be the warranty period, in months, so that the manufacturer will not have more than 10% of the blenders returned?

The warranty period should be the 10th percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.1, so X when Z = -1.28.

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

-1.28 = \frac{X - 40}{6}

X - 40 = -1.28*6

X = 32

The warranty period should be of 32 months.

Help me<br> On this pleaseee
Evgen [1.6K]
2 rectangle shaped
1) Length = 160 mi ; Width = 40 mi
2) Length = 440 mi - 160 mi ; Width = 240 mi - 70 mi

1 triangle shape
1) base = 70 mi ; height = 440 mi - 160 mi

Area Rectangle 1 = 160 mi * 40 mi = 6,400 mi²
Area Rectangle 2 = 280 mi * 170 mi = 47,600 mi²
Area Triangle 1 = ((440 mi - 160 mi) * 70mi)/2 = (280mi * 70mi)/2 = 9,800 mi²

Total Area = 6,400 mi² + 47,600 mi² + 9,800 mi² = <span>63,800 mi²</span>
