An average light bulb manufactured by the Acme Corporation lasts 300 days with a standard deviation of 50 days. Assuming that bulb life is normally distributed:
1. What is the probability that an Acme light bulb will last more than 300 days?
2. What is the probability that an Acme light bulb will last less than 300 days?
3. What is the probability that an Acme light bulb will last exactly 300 days?
4. In order to obtain a scientific survey with 95 % confidence level of public opining on something without making more than 3% error in either direction, how much percentage of all American adults should we ask?

1. 90% 2. 10% 3. 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard Deviation (σ) = 50 days

Average/Mean (μ) = 300days

Probability that it would last more than 300 days = P(Bulb>300 days)

We will assume there are 365 days in a year.

P(Bulb>300 days)  implies that the bulb would

Using the normal equation;

z = standard/normal score = (x-μ)/σ where x is the value to be standardized

P(Bulb>300 days) implies x = 365 days

Therefore z = (365-300)/50 = 1.3

Using the normal graph for z=1.3, probability = 90%

2. P(Bulb<300 days) = 1 - P(Bulb>300 days)\

P(Bulb<300 days) = 1 - 0.9

P(Bulb<300 days)  = 10%

3. P(Bulb=300 days) implies z=0 since x=300

Using the normal graph for z=0, probability =50%

the answer is b

30 miles

step-by-step explanation:

we know that 60 seconds equals 1 minute and 60 minutes 1 hour

44 ft       60 sec     60 min     158400   ft

  *   *   =

1 sec       1 min       1 hour         hour

we know that there are 5280 ft per mile

158400   ft       1 mile         30 miles

  *   =

1   hour               5280 ft     1 hour

so in 1 hour   it can travel 30 miles
