Question 409758: Suppose that the lifespan of a particular type of lightbulb is normally distributed with a mean of 1000 hours and a variance of 8100 hours. Determine the probability that a randomly selected lightbulb will last for 800 hours or less? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Suppose that the lifespan of a particular type of lightbulb is normally distributed with a mean of 1000 hours and a variance of 8100 hours. Determine the probability that a randomly selected lightbulb will last for 800 hours or less?
-----------------------
z(800) = (800-1000)/(8100) = -200/8100 = -2/81
----
P(x <= 800) = P(x < -2/81) = normalcdf(-100,-2/81) = 0.4902
