They andomly select a number af the music player and canduct a series of tests and compute an overall score for each unit 6ased upon the wults of tfie testing 0utine. They determine that the test scores ave noxmally distvibuted with a mean af 310 and a variance of 1,270. l unit is deemed fauilty if it scares belouu 250.

Explanation / Answer

#1.
mean = 310
sd = sqrt(1270) = 35.6371

P(X < 250)
= P(z < (250 - 310)/35.6371)
= P(z < -1.6836)
= 0.0461

Probability = 0.0461

#2.
mean = 8
sd = 18

P(X > 16)
= P(z > (16 - 8)/18)
= P(z > 0.4444)
= 0.3284

X% = 32.84%

#3.
mean = 68.6, sd = 3.8

for top 2.5%, z-value = 1.96
x = 68.6 + 1.96*3.8 = 76.0480

Hence cut-off height is 76 inches
