The number of adults at an amusement park, measured in hundreds of people, is represented by the function a(w)=−0.4w^2+5w+9, whe
re w is the number of weeks since the amusement park opened for the season.
The number of children at the same amusement park, measured in hundreds of people, is represented by the function c(w)=−0.2w^2+9w+12, where w is the number of weeks since the amusement park opened for the season.
What function, f(w) , can be used to determine how many more children than adults are at the amusement park any week during the season?

Answer:
The bulbs should be replaced each 1436.9 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
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.
In this problem, we have that:
How often should the bulbs be replaced so that no more than 1% burn out between replacement periods?
This is the first percentile of hours. So it is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.01.
So it is X when Z = -2.33.
The bulbs should be replaced each 1436.9 hours.
