A car is designed to last an average of 12 years with a standard deviation of 0.8 years. What is the probability that a car will last less than 10 years?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 130?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

basically u just want to know how many standard deviations away are you from your mean, to get to 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then u can look up a table and answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6.21%?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hold on, I am calculating it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, or is it a lot less?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

12-10 = 2 2 years = 2.25 std below the mean. So, check your Z table for P(Z<-2.25)
