The typical life of a specific kind of tiny motor is ten years, with a standard variation of two years, according to the manufacturer. All motors that fail while under warranty are replaced at no cost by the manufacturer. In the event that he is only prepared to repair 5 percent of the motors that fail, how long should he provide a guarantee? Assume that the life span of a motor is distributed according to a normal distribution.

The control department of a light bulb manufacturer randomly picks 4400 light bulbs from the production lot every week. The records show that, when there is no malfunction, the defect rate in the manufacturing process (due to imperfections in the material used) is 1%. When 1.25%o or more of the light bulbs in the sample of 4400 are defective, the control unit calls repair technicians for service. Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Find the mean of p, where p is the proportion of defective light bulbs in a sample of 4400 when there is no malfunction. (b) Find the standard deviation of p. (c) Compute an approximation for P(p N 0.0125), which is the probability that the service technicians will be called even though the system is functioning properly. Round your answer to four decimal places.
A study is run to estimate the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in men and women over the age of 60. Development of atrial fibrillation was monitored over a 10-year follow-up period. The data are summarized below. Using this data, compute the cumulative incidence of AF in men and in women respectively. Developed AF Did not Develop AF Men 120 6453 Women 86 7074
A new screening test for Lyme disease is developed for use in the general population. The sensitivity and specificity of the new test are 60% and 70%, respectively. Five hundred people are screened at a clinic during the first year the new test is implemented. Assume the true prevalence of Lyme disease among clinic attendees is 10%. Calculate the predictive value of a positive test.

A parts feeder has a low-level sensor at the 10th part and high-level sensor at the 50th part. The cycle time (Tc) is 6 seconds, the part selector probability (O) is 0.1, and the feed rate (f) is 56 parts/minute. Determine the depletion time (Tde) to the nearest 0.1 minute.
