B.2 The average life of a certain type of small motor is 10 years with a standard deviation of 2 years. The manufacturer replaces free all motors that fail while under guarantee. If she is willing to replace only 3% of the motors that fail, how long a guarantee should be offered? Assume that the lifetime of a motor follows a normal distribution.

The average life of a certain type of small motor is 10 years with a standard deviation of 2 years. The manufacturer replaces free all motors that fail while under guarantee. If he is willing to replace only 5% of the motors that fail, how long a guarantee should he offer? Assume that the lifetime of a motor follows a normal distribution.
The incubation time for a breed of chicks is normally distributed with a mean of 29 days and standard deviation of approximately 3 days. Look at the figure below and answer the following questions. If 1000 eggs are being incubated, how many chicks do we expect will hatch in the following time periods? (Note: In this problem, let us agree to think of a single day or a succession of days as a continuous interval of time. Assume all eggs eventually hatch.)

Suppose you have the population 50 and 80 and that their corresponding z-scores are -1 and -2, respectively. Is it possible to determine the populations mean and standard deviation?
On average, a banana will last 6.1 days from the time it is purchased in the store to the time it is too rotten to eat. Is the mean time to spoil greater if the banana is hung from the ceiling? The data show results of an experiment with 12 bananas that are hung from the ceiling.

A sample of 17 small bags of the same brand of candies was selected. Assume that the population distribution of bag weights is normal. The weight of each bag was then recorded. The mean weight was 2 ounces with a standard deviation of 0.13 ounces. The population standard deviation is known to be 0.1 ounce.NOTE: If you are using a Student's t-distribution, you may assume that the underlying population is normally distributed. (In general, you must first prove that assumption, though.) Find the following. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
