Answer to Question #194531 in Statistics and Probability for cindy

Question

ILAW Manufacturing company produces bulbs that last a mean of 900 hours with a standard deviation of 110 hours. what is the probability that the mean lifetime of a random sample of 15 of these bulbs is less than 850 hours?

Answer 1

$z=\frac{\overline{x}-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}=\frac{850-900}{110/\sqrt{15}}=-1.76$

$P(z<-1.76)=0.5-0.4608=0.0392$
