Let X be the lifetime of an electronic device. It is known that the average lifetime of the device is 767 days and the standard deviation is 121 days. Let x¯ be the sample mean of the lifetimes of 157 devices. The distribution of X is unknown, however, the distribution of x¯ should be approximately normal according to the Central Limit Theorem. Calculate the following probabilities using the normal approximation. (a) P(x¯≤754)= Answer (b) P(x¯≥784)= Answer 0.0392 (c) P(749≤x¯≤784)= Answer

Let X be the lifetime of an electronic device. It is known that the average lifetime of the device is 762 days and the standard deviation is 150 days. Let x¯ be the sample mean of the lifetimes of 156 devices. The distribution of X is unknown, however, the distribution of x¯should be approximately normal according to the Central Limit Theorem. Calculate the following probabilities using the normal approximation. (a) P(x¯≤746) (b) P(x¯≥782) (c) P(738≤x¯≤781)
