Question 524473: An accerlerated life test on a large number type-D alkaline batteries revealed that the mean life for a particular use before they failed is 19.0 hours. The distribution of the lives approximated a normal distriburtion. The standard deviation of the distribtuion was 1.2 hours About 95% of the batteries failed between what two values?

An accerlerated life test on a large number type-D alkaline batteries revealed that the mean life for a particular use before they failed is 19.0 hours. The distribution of the lives approximated a normal distriburtion. The standard deviation of the distribtuion was 1.2 hours About 95% of the batteries failed between what two values?

Find the z-value with a left-tail of 2.5%:
invNorm(0.025) = 1.96
--
Note: 95% of the data lies between -1.96 and +1.96
----
Find the corresponding raw-score values using x = zs+u
x = -1.96*1.2+19 = 16.65 hrs.
x = +1.95*1.2+19 = 21.35 hrs.
