Each of 15 refrigerators of a certain type has been returned to a distributor because of an audible, high-pitched, oscillating noise when the refrigerators are running. Suppose that 12 of these refrigerators have a defective compressor and the other 3 have less serious problems. If the refrigerators are examined in random order, let X be the number among the first 11 examined that have a defective compressor.

(a) Calculate

P(X = 9) and P(X ≤ 9).  (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

P(X = 9) = .4835

P(X ≤ 9) = .8462

(b) Determine the probability that X exceeds its mean value by more than 1 standard deviation. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

I have successfully answered part A but I am struggling on part B.

14 refrigerators of a certain type has been returned to a distributor - 8 of these refrigerators have a defective compressor and 6 have less serious problems. A sample (without replacement) of 4 refrigerators are examined in random order, let X be the number of refrigerators with defective compressor among the examined ones. Answer all questions to 3 decimal places. 1. P(X = 3) = 2. P(1 < X ≤ 3) = 3. What is the expected number of refrigerators...

Suppose time taken to grade an exam-paper by an examiner has mean 13.1 min. and standard deviation 6.1 min. If the examiner has to grade 46 exam-papers, what is the approximate probability that she will finish grading in less than 648 min. (assuming grading times are independent and she grades continuously)? Answer to 4 decimal places. 14 refrigerators of a certain type has been returned to a distributor - 6 of these refrigerators have a defective compressor and 8 have...

A new design for the braking system on a certain type of car has been proposed. For the current system, the true average braking distance at 40 mph under specified conditions is known to be 120 ft. It is proposed that the new design be implemented only if sample data strongly indicates a reduction in true average braking distance for the new design. (b) Suppose braking distance for the new system is normally distributed with σ = 11. Let X...
