Question 380341: Suppose the life of a certain brand of vacuum cleaner is normally distributed with a mean life of 12 years and a standard deviation of 4 years. A vacuum cleaner is randomly chosen. Find the probability that is will last between 6 to 12 years. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Suppose the life of a certain brand of vacuum cleaner is normally distributed with a mean life of 12 years and a standard deviation of 4 years. A vacuum cleaner is randomly chosen. Find the probability that is will last between 6 to 12 years.
-------------
z(6) = (6-12)/4 = -3/2
---
z(12) = (12-12)/4 = 0
----
P(6< x <12) = P(-3/2< z < 0) = 0.4332
