Answer:
The probability that computers work more than 41 minutes is 0.15866 or 15.87%.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a computer tallied the time to work for 200 days and found it reasonable to the normal curve. The mean is 35 minutes, and the standard deviation with six minutes.
Let X = the time taken by computer to work for 200 days.
So, X ~ Normal([tex]\mu=35, \sigma^{2} =6^{2}[/tex])
The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;
Z = [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma }[/tex] ~ N(0,1)
where, [tex]\mu[/tex] = population mean time = 35 minutes
[tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation = 6 minutes
Now, the probability that computers work more than 41 minutes is given by = P(X > 41 minutes)
P(X > 41 minutes) = P( [tex]\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma }[/tex] > [tex]\frac{41-35}{6 }[/tex] ) = P(Z > 1) = 1 - P(Z [tex]\leq[/tex] 1)
= 1 - 0.84134 = 0.15866
The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1 in the z table which has an area of 0.84134.
