the life span of a battery is normally distributed, with a mean of 2100 hours and a standard deviation of 50 hours. what percent of batteries have a life span that is more than 2170 hours? would it be unusual for a battery to have a life span that is more than 2170 hours? explain your reasoning.
---------
z(2170) = (2170-2100)/50 = 70/50 = 1.4
P(x > 2170) = P(z > 1.4) = binomcdf(1.4,100) = 0.0808
------
Not unusual. 2170 is not greater than 2 standard deviations
above the mean.
