You can put this solution on YOUR website! The length of life for an automatic dishwasher is approximately normally distributed, with a mean of 4.5 years and a S.D. of 2 years. If this type of dishwasher is guaranteed for 18 months, what fraction of the sales will require replacement?
-----
4.5 yrs = 4.5*12 = 50 monts
z(18) = (18-50)/24 = -1.33
----
P(last less than 18 mths) = P(z < -1.33) = 9.18%
