Question 417932: The mean of a certain light bulb is 2.5 years with a standard deviation of 0.5 years. If this set of data fits a normal deviation, what is the probability that your light bulb will last between 3.0 and 4.0 years? Explain in words as well as stating the probability, and draw a picture of the appropriate Normal Curve.

The mean of a certain light bulb is 2.5 years with a standard deviation of 0.5 years.
If this set of data fits a normal deviation, what is the probability that your light bulb will last between 3.0 and 4.0 years?
---
z(3) = (3-2.5)/0.5 = 1
z(4) = (4-2.5)/0.5 = 3
---
P(3 <= x <=4) = P(1<= z <= 3) = 0.1573
