8) The average life expectancy of dishwashers produced by a company is 6 years with a standard deviation of 8 months. Assume that the lives of dishwashers are normally distributed. What is the probability that a randomly selected dishwasher will have a life expectancy of at least 7 а. years? b. Dishwashers that fail operating in less than 4 years will be replaced free of charge. What percent of dishwashers are expected to be replaced free of charge? What are the minimum and the maximum life expectancy of the middle 95% of the dishwashers' lives? Give your answer in months. с.

The shelf life of a perishable product is a random variable that is related to customer acceptance and, ultimately, to sales and profit. Suppose the shelf life of a particular soft drink is best approximated by a normal distribution with a mean of 180 days and standard deviation 20 days. What fraction of the product will still be fresh after 5 months on the shelf?

The pregnancy length of new mothers in a population is 267 days with a standard deviation of 10 days. What is the minimum pregnancy length that can be in the top 10% of pregnancy lengths? Assume that it is normal distribution.
The 3-point shooter star of your favourite team usually attempts twelve 3-point shots in a basketball game. The team record shows that the shooter makes 45% of all 3-point shots attempted in a game. Assuming that the shots are independent of each other,what is probability that the star will make shots at least 2 standard deviation more than the expected?
A factory's worker productivity is normally distributed. One worker produces an average of 73 units per day with a standard deviation of 19. Another worker produces at an average rate of 66 units per day with a standard deviation of 20. A. What is the probability that in a single day worker 1 will outproduce worker 2? Probability= B. What is the probability that during one week (5 working days), worker 1 will outproduce worker 2? Probability =

A dean in the business school claims that GMAT scores of applicants to the school's MBA program have increased during the past 5 years. Five years ago, the mean and standard deviation of GMAT scores of MBA applicants were 550 and 60, respectively. 30 applications for this year's program were randomly selected and the GMAT scores recorded. If we assume that the distribution of GMAT scores of this year's applicants is the same as that of 5 years ago, find the probability of erroneously concluding that there is not enough evidence to supports the claim when, in fact, the true mean GMAT score is 590. Assume αα is 0.02.
A cell phone manufacturer has hired you to estimate the population mean of the battery lifetimes for all phones of their latest model. You decide to measure battery lifetime by recording the time it takes for the battery charge to run out while a tester is streaming videos on the phones continuously. Then you select a random sample of 45 cell phones of the manufacturer's latest model and record their battery lifetimes. Assume that the population standard deviation of the battery lifetimes for that cell phone model (using your method of measurement) is 2.42 hours. Based on your sample, follow the steps below to construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean of the battery lifetimes for all phones of the manufacturer's latest model. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Click on "Take Sample" to see the results from your random sample of 45 phones of the manufacturer's latest model. Take Sample Sample size: 0 Number of phones Point estimate: 0 45 Sample mean…
