Suppose a manufacturer of light bulbs produces a 75-watt bulb that burns a mean of 7500 hours before it burns out. it has a standard deviation of 220 hours. what percentage of their bulbs would they have to replace under warranty if they offered a warranty of 7200 hours?

8.69% of their bulbs would they have to replace under warranty if they offered a warranty of 7200 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

What percentage of their bulbs would they have to replace under warranty if they offered a warranty of 7200 hours?

This is the probability that X is lower or equal than 7200 hours. So this is the pvalue of Z when X = 7200.

has a pvalue of 0.0869

So 8.69% of their bulbs would they have to replace under warranty if they offered a warranty of 7200 hours.

found it xd it ok yt

x =-.20752

step-by-step explanation:

4^(x+2)=12

4^(x+2)=12

take the log base 4 on each side

log 4 (4^(x+2) = log 4(12)

we know log b(a^y) = y log b (a)

(x+2) log 4(4) = log 4 (12)

x+2 = log 4 (12)

we know   logb c = loga c/loga b

we want to convert to base 10   so a = 10

by default, we do not write the 10   c = 4   and b = 10

log4 10 = log 12/log 4

log4 10 = log 12/ log 4

x+2 = log 12/ log 4

subtract 2 from each side

x +2 -2 = log 12/ log 4 -2

x = 1.79248125 -2

x =-.20752
