Question 209096: A certain type of thermal battery
for an airplane navigation device backup power has a
mean life of 300 hours with a standard deviation of 15
hours. What proportion of these batteries can be
expected to have lives of 322 hours or less? Assume a normal
distribution of backup power device lives.

A certain type of thermal battery
for an airplane navigation device backup power has a
mean life of 300 hours with a standard deviation of 15
hours. What proportion of these batteries can be
expected to have lives of 322 hours or less? Assume a normal
distribution of backup power device lives.
------------------
Find the z-value of 322
z(322) = (322-300)/15 = 22/15 = 1.46667
===================================
P(x>=322) = P(z<1.4667) = 92.88%
=========================================
