Suppose that the lifetimes of a certain kind of light bulb are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 110 hours. If exactly 95% of the bulbs die before 925 hours, find the mean lifetime of the bulbs. Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places.

Please use excel formulas when possible: You have a device that uses a single battery, and you operate this device continuously, never turning it off. Whenever a battery fails, you replace it with a brand new one immediately. Suppose the lifetime of a typical batteryhas an exponential distribution with mean 205 minutes. Suppose you operate the device continuously for three days, making battery changes when necessary. Find the probability that you will observe at least 25 failures. (Hint: The number of failures is Poisson distributed.) In the previous problem, we ran the experiment for a certain number of days and then asked about the number of failures. In this problem, we take a different point of view. Suppose you operate the device, starting with a new battery, until you have observed 25 battery failures. What is the probability that at least 15 of these 25 batteries lived at least 3.5 hours? (Hint: Each lifetime is exponentially distributed

The lifespans of light bulbs are known to follow an exponential distribution. The exponential distribution, often denoted exp(β), is characterized by a single mean parameter β. The exponential distribution has a unique property that its standard deviation is equal to its mean. Suppose you order 100 light bulbs known to each have lifespans (in years) distributed according to exp(4). What is the probability that the average lifespan of your 100 light bulbs exceeds 5 years? (Using R it possible)
Assuming a population is normally distributed, calculate the probability that a random member of the population falls between 3 standard deviations below the mean and 1 standard deviation below the mean. In other words in mathematical notation: P(-3 < z < -1) Enter your answer in decimal form. For example, 75% should be entered as 0.75.
A certain disease has an incidence rate of 0.2%. The false negative rate is 8%, and the false positive rate is 3%. Calculate the probability that a person who tests positive actually has the disease. 0.0848 Note: The incidence rate is the probability that a random person gets the disease. The false negative rate is the probability of getting a negative result given that the person has the disease. The false positive rate is the probability of getting a positive result given that the person does not have the disease.
