Question 1(b) A certain carmake and model is under warranty for thefirst 10 years after being purchased, so will only potentiallyrequire the consumer to pay for significant mechanical repairs afterthis 10-year period. Hence the number of years I, after beingpurchased until this car requires the consumer to pay for significantmechanical repairs is distributed according to the following probability densityfunction (pdf): idtf(t) =t0,>10

i) What is the probability that a consumer will need to pay for signit mechanical repairs less than 18 years after the car is purchased? (i.e. less than 8 years after the warranty period expires) nei tasu ii) It can be shown from the above sef equation that the expected time until the consumer would need to pay for significant mechanical repairs is E(T) ≈ 13.86. Use this information to determine the variance Var (I) of the variable T. dibited.

Suppose that time required to compete a 1040R tax form is normally distributed with a mean of 110 minutes and a standard deviation of 15 minutes. What proportion of the 1040R tax form will be completed in less than 121 minutes. Round your answer to at least 4 decimal places.
Times for a procedure are normally distributed. There are 2 methods. Method A has a mean of 25 minutes and a standard deviation of 8 minutes. Method B has a mean of 29 minutes and a standard deviation of 4 minutes. Which procedure is preferred if it must be completed within 33 minutes?
Leave all probabilities as percentages, define x on all problems with data. Simple random samples of high interest (8.9%) and low interest (6.3%) mortgages were obtained. For the 40 high interest mortgages, the borrowers had a mean FICO credit score of 594.8 and a standard deviation of 12.2. For the 40 low interest mortgages, borrowers had a mean FICO credit score of 785.2 and a standard deviation of 16.3. Use an alpha level of 0.01, and a two tailed test of hypothesis to test the claim that the mean FICO score borrowers with a high interest mortgage is the same as the mean FICO score of borrowers with the low interest mortgage.
