A new fluorescent light to replace incandescent bulbs has come on the market. The box says life of 8,000 hours with a standard deviation of 750 hours. A random sample of 50 light bulbs is taken. Let Xbar be the mean of the sample.
A. What is the probability that Xbar is >or equal to 7900?
----
z(7900) = (7900-8000)/[750/sqrt(50)] = -0.9428
P(x-bar >= 7900) = P(z>-0.9428) = 0.8271
