    1. The document discusses several examples involving normally distributed variables and calculating probabilities related to these distributions. 2. In one example, 1000 light bulbs with a mean life of 120 days are installed, and the document calculates the number that will expire in less than 90 days and the replacement interval to keep expired bulbs under 10%. 3. Other examples involve calculating probabilities for electronic device lifetimes, income distributions, fertilizer demand, and test scores.

    Q1.

    1000 light bulbs with a mean life of 120 days are installed in a new factory and
    is normally distributed with standard deviation of 20 days.
    (a)How many bulbs will expire in less than 90 days?
    (b)If it is decided to replace all the bulbs together, what interval should be allowed
    replacements if not more than 10% should expire before replacement?

    2.The lifetimes of certain kinds of electronic devices have a mean of 300 hours and standard
    deviation of 25 hours. Assuming that the distribution of these lifetimes, which are measured
    to the nearest hour, can be approximated closely with a normal curve
    (a)Find the probability that any one of these electronic devices will have a lifetime of more
    than 350 hours.
    (b)What percentage will have lifetimes of 300 hours or less?
