An office manager has received a report from a consultant that includes a section on equipment replacement. The report indicates that scanners have a service life that is normally distributed with a mean of 41 months and a standard deviation of 4 months. On the basis of this information, determine the proportion of scanners that can be expected to fail within plus or minus 6 months of the mean. (Enter your answer as a percentage without the percent sign; keep 2 decimal places)

Answer :

Answer:

The answer is "36.14%"

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is given in the attached file please find it.

[tex]\mu =41\\\\\sigma= 4\\\\P(42<\bar{x}<48)= p(\bar{x}<48)-p(\bar{x}<42)\\\\Z =\frac{(42-41)}{4} = \frac{1}{4} =0.25\\\\Z =\frac{(48-41)}{4} = \frac{7}{4} = 1.75\\\\[/tex]

Using z-table to find the value.

[tex]\to P(41<\bar{x}<48) = 0.9599- 0.5987 = 0.3614\times 100= 36.14\%[/tex]

This means that between 42 and 48 months, 36.14 % of scanners could be predicted will break down.
