P(X

P(z

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

z=-0.842

And if we solve for the mean we got

$\mu =4 +0.842*1.1=4.926$

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this question "Suppose that the lifetimes of TV tubes are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 1.1 years. Suppose also that exactly 20% of the tubes die before 4 years. Find the mean lifetime of TV tubes. Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places. Round your answer to at least one decimal place. ?

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the lifetimes of TV tubes of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(\mu,1.1)$

Where $\mu$ and $\sigma=1.1$

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

For this part we know the following condition:

P(X4)=0.8 (a)

P(X (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.2 of the area on the left and 0.8 of the area on the right it's z=-0.842. On this case P(Z<-0.842)=0.2 and P(z>-0.842)=0.8

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

P(X

P(z

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

z=-0.842

And if we solve for the mean we got

$\mu =4 +0.842*1.1=4.926$

Answer from: Quest

2/3x + 7 = 29

step-by-step explanation:

two thirds = 2/3

plus a number = x

at least 29 = 29

there for you should get 2/3x + 7 = 29
