1)
A) A manufacturer knows that their items have a normally
distributed lifespan, with a mean of 3 years, and standard
deviation of 0.6 years.
If you randomly purchase one item, what is the probability it will
last longer than 2 years?
Use the normal table and round answer to four decimal places
B) In the country of United States of Heightlandia, the height
measurements of ten-year-old children are approximately normally
distributed with a mean of 56.8 inches, and standard deviation of
4.6 inches.
What is the probability that the height of a randomly chosen child
is between 60.8 and 62.1 inches?
Use the Normal table and give answer to 4 decimal places
Solution-
A) A manufacturer knows that their items have a normally
distributed lifespan, with a mean of 3 years, and standard
deviation of 0.6 years.
If you randomly purchase one item, the probability it will last
longer than 2 years is 0.9522
◆ Probability calculation-
B) In the country of United States of Heightlandia, the height

distributed with a mean of 56.8 inches, and standard deviation of
4.6 inches.
the probability that the height of a randomly chosen child is
between 60.8 and 62.1 inches is 0.0676
