Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

a. The variable of interest is:

X: Lifetime of a dishwasher. (years)

Assuming this variable has a normal distribution with mean μ= 12 years and a standard deviation of σ= 1.25 years.

To calculate the following probabilities, you have to use the standard normal distribution Z= (X-μ)/δ~N(0;1)

b.

P(X≥12.65)= 1 - P(X<12.65)

1 - P(Z<(12.65-12)/1.25)= 1 - P(Z<0.52)= 1 - 0.698 = 0.302

c.

P(X≤13.55)= P(Z≤(13.55-12)/1.25)= P(Z≤1.24)= 0.893

d.

P(12.65≤X≤13.55)= P(X≤13.55) - P(X≤12.65)= P(Z≤1.24) - P(Z≤0.52)= 0.893-0.698= 0.195

e.

When you are looking for the probability of the variable taking "at most" certain value, this means that you are looking for the probability of it being equal or less to the given value:

P(X≤8.875)= P(Z≤(8.875-12)/1.25)= P(Z≤-2.5)= 0.006

f.

When standardizing the value of X= 8.875 the obtained Z-value was -2.5, this value can be interpreted as 8.875years is -2.5 standard deviations away from the mean. The further value is from its population mean, the lowe is its probability of occurrence, i.e. the more uncommon it is. 2.5 standard deviations is a far enough distance to claim that the value is uncommon.

g.

What lifetime does 64% of all dishwashers have less than?

Symbolically:

P(X≤x₀)= 0.64

x₀ is a value of the variable that has below it 64% of the variable distribution. The first step to finding the value of x₀ is to look for the value under the standard normal distribution that accumulates 0.64 of probability:

P(Z≤z₀)= 0.64

z₀= 0.358

The second step is to reverse the standardization using the values of μ and σ to reach the corresponding value of X.

z₀= (x₀-μ)/σ

x₀= (z₀*σ)+μ

x₀=(0.358*1.25)+12

x₀= 12.4475

The lifetime that at most 64% of the dishwashers is 12.4475 years.

I hope this helps!

the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. if you take the three sides of a triangle and add them in pairs, the sum is greater than (not equal to) the third side. if that is not true, then it is not possible to construct a triangle with the given side lengths.

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.
