The lifetimes of light bulbs of a particular type are normally distributed with a mean of 350 hours and a standard deviation of 6 hours. What percentage of the bulbs have lifetimes that lie within 1 standard deviation to either side of the mean?

By the Empirical Rule, approximately 68% of the bulbs have lifetimes that lie within 1 standard deviation to either side of the mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

What percentage of the bulbs have lifetimes that lie within 1 standard deviation to either side of the mean?

By the Empirical Rule, approximately 68% of the bulbs have lifetimes that lie within 1 standard deviation to either side of the mean.

step-by-step explanation:

an

y = 6x -3y -12

y +3y +12 = 6x

=> . x = { 2y / 3 +2 } this is equation of line in terms of x

=> . if line meets the x-axis the co-ordinates of meeting point would be ( x , 0 )

=> . x = 2 ( 0 ) / 3 + 2

=> . x = 2

so, the point is ( 2 , 0 )
