Question

An average life span of a light bulb manufactured by the DMR Corporation
lasts 300 days with a standard deviation of 50 days. Assuming that bulb life is
normally distributed, what is the probability that the light bulb selected will
last at most 365 days?

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.
