Question
A safety light is designed so that the times between flashes are normally distributed with a mean of 3.50 s and a standard deviation of 0.70 s.
    a. Find the probability that an individual time is greater than 4..50 s.
        The probability is approximately __________. Round to 4 decimal 
         places as needed.
    b. Find the probability that the mean for 70 randomly selected times is    
        greater than 4.5 s.
        The probability is approximately _______________________.  Round to  4
        decimal places as needed.
     c.  Given that the light is intended to help people see an​ obstruction,   which result is more relevant for assessing the safety of the​ light?
          Choose the correct answer below:
A.  Part (b) is more significant because the times of a single strobe is important
B. Part (a) is more significant because the average time for a sample is important
C. Part (b) is more significant becaue the average time for a sample is important.
D.  Part (a) is more significant because the times of a single strobe is important.
