A company manufactures a wash-down motor that is used in the food processing industry. The motor is marketed with a warranty that guarantees it will be replaced free of charge if it fails within the first 13000 hours of operation. On average, the wash-down motors operate for 17000 hours with a standard deviation of 3950 hours before failing. The number of operating hours before failure is approximately normally distributed. If the company wants to design a wash-down motor so that no more than 1% are replaced free of charge, what would the average hours of operation before failure have to be if the standard deviation remains at 3950 hours?
