A Government company claims that an average light bulb lasts 270 days. A researcher randomly selects 18 bulbs for testing. The s

ampled bulbs last an average of 260 days, with a standard deviation of 90 days. If the CEO's claim were true, what is the probability that 18 randomly selected bulbs would have an average life of no more than 260 days

Answer:

31.92% probability that 18 randomly selected bulbs would have an average life of no more than 260 days

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use 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.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean \mu = p and standard deviation s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 270, \sigma = 90, n = 18, s = \frac{90}{\sqrt{18}} = 21.2

What is the probability that 18 randomly selected bulbs would have an average life of no more than 260 days?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 260. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

Z = \frac{260 - 270}{21.2}

Z = -0.47

Z = -0.47 has a pvalue of 0.3192.

31.92% probability that 18 randomly selected bulbs would have an average life of no more than 260 days

The product of x and the sum of 6 and 8 times the square of x
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

x(6 + 8x²) or 6x + 8x³.

Step-by-step explanation:

"The square of x" can be represented by x² and 8 times that would be 8 * x² or 8x². The sum of 6 and 8x² can be represented by 6 + x² and the product of x and 6 + x² can be represented by x * (6 + 8x²) or x(6 + 8x²) which simplifies to 6x + 8x³.
