Question 1035862: On average, one specific type of electronic equipment used in an operating theater lasts 8 years under normal conditions.
What's the probability that one particular piece of this equipment lasts more than 10 years?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If you are talking about STANDARD normal conditions, then 10 is 2 standard deviations from the average of 8, hence the probability that one particular piece of this equipment lasts more than 10 years is 1 - 0.9772 = 0.0228, or 2.28%.
