The shelf life of a battery produced by one major company is known to be normally distributed, with a mean life of 3.9 years and a standard deviation of 0.3 years. What is the probability that a randomly chosen battery will last between 3.5 and 4.1 years?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! The shelf life of a battery produced by one major company is known to be normally distributed, with a mean life of 3.9 years and a standard deviation of 0.3 years. What is the probability that a randomly chosen battery will last between 3.5 and 4.1 years?
-------
z(3.5) = (3.5-3.9)/0.3 = -0.5/0.3 = -1 2/3
----
z(4.1) = (4.1-3.9)/0.3 = 0.2/0.3 = 2/3
-------------------------
P(3.5 < x < 4.1) = P(-1 2/3 < z < 2/3) = normalcdf(-5/3,2/3) = 0.6997
