The batteries from a certain manufacturer have a mean lifetime of 810 hours, with a standard deviation of 70 hours. Assuming that the lifetimes are normallydistributed, complete the following statements.(a) Approximately of the batteries have lifetimes between 670 hours and950 hours.(b) Approximately 68% of the batteries have lifetimes between 0 hours andhours

PART A

Calculating the z score for 670 and 950

We have;

[tex]\begin{gathered} z_1=\frac{670-810}{70} \\ z_1=-\frac{140}{70} \\ z_1=-2 \\ \text{and } \\ z_2=\frac{950-810}{70} \\ z_2=\frac{140}{70}_{} \\ z_2=2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{from the graph } \\ \approx95\text{ \% of the batteries are within that range} \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]

PART B

From the z score table we got z=0.47

[tex]\begin{gathered} 0.47=\frac{x-810}{70} \\ 70\times\text{ 0.47 = X-810} \\ 32.9=X-810 \\ X=842.9 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Approximately 68% of the batteries have lifetimes between 0 hours and

hours is 842.9
