Suppose the life of a particular brand of calculator battery is
approximately normally distributed with a mean of
80 hours and a standard deviation of 11 hours. Complete parts a
through c.
a. What is the probability that a single battery randomly selected
from the population will have a life between
and hours?
75
85
P(75 ≤ x ≤ 85) = (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
b. What is the probability that randomly sampled batteries from the
population will have a sample mean life of
between and hours?

75 85
P(75 ≤ x ≤ 85) = (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
c. If the manufacturer of the battery is able to reduce the
standard deviation of battery life from to hours,
what would be the probability that batteries randomly sampled from
the population will have a sample mean
life of between and hours?
