a)3.438% of the light bulbs will last more than 6262 hours.

b)11.31% of the light bulbs will last 5252 hours or less.

c) 23.655% of the light bulbs are going to last between 5858 and 6262 hours.

d) 0.12% of the light bulbs will last 4646 hours or less.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normally distributed problems can be solved by the z-score formula:

On a normaly distributed set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a value X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

After we find the value of Z, we look into the z-score table and find the equivalent p-value of this score. This is the probability that a score will be LOWER than the value of X.

In this problem, we have that:

The lifetimes of light bulbs are approximately normally distributed, with a mean of 5656 hours and a standard deviation of 333.3 hours.

So $\mu = 5656, \sigma = 333.3$

(a) What proportion of light bulbs will last more than 6262 hours?

The pvalue of the z-score of X = 6262 is the proportion of light bulbs that will last less than 6262. Subtracting 100% by this value, we find the proportion of light bulbs that will last more than 6262 hours.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{6262 - 5656}{333.3}$

Z = 1.82

Z = 1.81 has a pvalue of .96562. This means that 96.562% of the light bulbs are going to last less than 6262 hours. So

P = 100% - 96.562% = 3.438% of the light bulbs will last more than 6262 hours.

(b) What proportion of light bulbs will last 5252 hours or less?

This is the pvalue of the zscore of X = 5252

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{5252- 5656}{333.3}$

Z = -1.21

Z = -1.21 has a pvalue of .1131. This means that 11.31% of the light bulbs will last 5252 hours or less.

This is the pvalue of the zscore of X = 6262 subtracted by the pvalue of the zscore X = 5858

For X = 6262 , we have that Z = 1.81 with a pvalue of .96562.

For X = 5858

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{5858- 5656}{333.3}$

Z = 0.61

Z = 0.61 has a pvalue of .72907.

So, the proportion of light bulbs that will last between 5858 and 6262 hours is

P = .96562 - .72907 = .23655

23.655% of the light bulbs are going to last between 5858 and 6262 hours.

(d) What is the probability that a randomly selected light bulb lasts less than 4646 hours?

This is the pvalue of the zscore of X = 4646

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{4646- 5656}{333.3}$

Z = -3.03

Z = -3.03 has a pvalue of .0012. This means that 0.12% of the light bulbs will last 4646 hours or less.
