The shelf life of a battery produced by one major company is known to be normally distributed, with a mean life of 3.5 years and a standard deviation of 1 years. Using the expanded empirical rule, what is the probability in decimal form that a randomly chosen battery will (a) last fewer than 2.5 years? Answer: (b) last between 1.5 and 5.5 years? Answer: (c) last more than 0.5 years? Answer:

Suppose a life insurance company sells a $170,000 1-year term life insurance policy to a 20-year-old female for $300. According to the National Vital Statistics Report, 58(21), the probability that the female survives the year is 0.999544. The expected value of this policy to the insurance company is$222.48. What is the standard deviation of the value of the life insurance policy? Why is the value so high? Part 1 The standard deviation of the value of the life insurance is $
A manufacturing process is designed to produce bolts with a 0.25-inch diameter. Once each day, a random sample of 36 bolts is selected and the bolt diameters recorded. If the resulting sample mean is less than 0.230 inches or greater than 0.270 inches, the process is shut down for adjustment. The standard deviation for diameter is 0.04 inches. What is the probability that the manufacturing line will be shut down unnecessarily? (Hint: Find the probability of observing an x in the shutdown range when the true process mean really is 0.25 inches. Round your answer to four decimal places.)
