The life expectancy (in hours) of a fluorescent tube is normally distributed with a mean 8000 and a standard deviation 1000. Find the probability that a tube lasts for more than 11000 hours.

4 answers

Calculate Z as follows:
z=(x-μ)/σ
=(11000-8000)/1000
=3

From probability tables, find
P(Z>z).
P(Z>3)=1-P(Z<3)=1-0.99865=0.00135
The life expectancy of a fluorescent tube is normally distributed with a mean of 6, 800 hours and a standard deviation of 1,000 hours. Find the probability that a tube lasts for more than 8,800 hours.
