Question 3
Correct
Mark 2.00 out of 2.00
A local company manufactures rechargeable lights with mean battery life of
hours and a standard deviation of hours. What is the probability that a randomly
selected rechargeable light will have a battery life of at least hours?
a.
b.
c.
d.
e. 0.9000
Question 4
Partially correct
Mark 1.50 out of 2.00
Consider the information from the previous question. Remember rechargeable lights
have a mean battery life of \( 80 \) hours with a standard deviation of \( 8 \) hours.
Suppose that the local company manufactures the lights for a lighting warehouse.
It is observed that the warehouse rejects about 25% of the lights (because they do
not pass the minimum battery life test).
Determine the minimum battery life accepted by the lighting warehouse.
a. Approximately \( 72 \hspace{1.5mm} \textrm{hours} \)
b. Approximately \( 73 \hspace{1.5mm} \textrm{hours} \)
c. Approximately \( 74 \hspace{1.5mm} \textrm{hours} \)

of \( 225 \) and a standard deviation of \( 25 \). Which one of the following
statements regarding the sampling distribution of the mean is incorrect?
a. According to the cental limit theorem, the sampling distribution of the
sample mean \( \bar{X} \) can be approximated by a normal distribution as
the sample size \( n \) becomes large.
b. The mean of the sampling distribution of \( \bar{X} \) is \( 225 \).
c. If the sample size \( n=20 \), then the standard error of the mean is \( 5.59
\).
d. If the sample size \( n=30 \), then the standard error of the mean is \( 4.56
\).
e. If the sample size \( n=40 \), then the standard error of the mean is \(
3.26 \).
