Question

A relay microchip in a telecommunications satellite has a life expectancy that follows a normal distribution with a mean of 80 months and a standard deviation of 6.1 month. When this computer-relay microchip malfunctions, the entire satellite is useless. A large London insurance company is going to insure the satellite for 60 million dollars. Assume that the only part of the satellite in question is the microchip. All other components will work indefinitely. If the satellite is insured for 73 months, what is the expected loss to the insurance company? Round to the nearest ten-thousand dollars.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
