Optimal-Eats blender has a mean time before failure of 37 months with a standard deviation of 5 months, and the failure times are normally distributed. What should be the warranty period, in months, so that the manufacturer will not have more than 7% of the blenders returned

The warranty period should be of 30 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Optimal-Eats blender has a mean time before failure of 37 months with a standard deviation of 5 months.

This means that

What should be the warranty period, in months, so that the manufacturer will not have more than 7% of the blenders returned?

The warranty period should be the 7th percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value if 0.07, so X when Z = -1.475.

Rounding to the nearest whole number, 30.

The warranty period should be of 30 months.

the answer would be c:   ax + b = ax + c
