A quality control expert at LIFE batteries wants to test their new batteries. The design engineer claims they have a standard deviation of 6262 minutes with a mean life of 606606 minutes. If the claim is true, in a sample of 9999 batteries, what is the probability that the mean battery life would be greater than 619619 minutes

Answer:

[tex]\bar X \sim N(\mu. \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})[/tex]

And we want to find the following probability:

[tex] P(\bar X >619)[/tex]

And we can use the z score formula given by:

[tex] z=\frac{\bar x -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

And replacing we got:

[tex] z=\frac{619-606}{\frac{62}{\sqrt{99}}}= 2.086[/tex]

And we can use the normal standard distirbution and the complement rule to find the probability:

[tex] P(z>2.086)=1 -P(z<2.086)= 1-0.982= 0.018[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem we have the following parameters given:

[tex]\mu = 606[/tex] represent the mean

[tex]\sigma = 62[/tex] represent the true deviation

[tex] n= 99[/tex] represent the sample size

For this case since the sample size is >30 we can use the central limit theorem and we can u se the following distribution for the sample mean

[tex]\bar X \sim N(\mu. \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})[/tex]

And we want to find the following probability:

[tex] P(\bar X >619)[/tex]

And we can use the z score formula given by:

[tex] z=\frac{\bar x -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

And replacing we got:

[tex] z=\frac{619-606}{\frac{62}{\sqrt{99}}}= 2.086[/tex]

And we can use the normal standard distirbution and the complement rule to find the probability:

[tex] P(z>2.086)=1 -P(z<2.086)= 1-0.982= 0.018[/tex]
