QUESTION 2
2) i) 𝑥̅ =9
U=7.5 years
𝜎=2.5 years
𝑥−𝑈
𝑧= 𝜎
9−7.5
= 2.5
=0.6
z-table= 0.00 – 0.6
=0.2257
=0.5 – 0.2257
=0.2743
9−7⋅5
𝑃(𝑥 > 9)= 𝑝(𝑧 > )
2⋅5
= 𝑃(𝑧 > 0.6)
=0.5 – 0.2257
=0.2743
There is a 27.43% chance that a randomly selected audio speaker will work for more than 9 years
without any trouble.
2)ii
P= 27.43% = 0.2743
Q= 72.57% = 0.7257
N= 12
R= 7
𝑛!
× 𝑝𝑟 × 𝑞 𝑛−𝑟
𝑟(!𝑛−𝑟)!
12!
× 0.27437 × 0.72575
7!(12−7)!
=0.019
There is a likelihood of less than a 1% chance that exactly 7 out of the 12 audio speakers
purchased by the company will work for over 9 years without any problem.
