Rayovac type-d batteries have a "continuous use-life" that is approximately normally distributed with mean 21 hours and standard deviation 1.38 hours. duracell type-d batteries have "continuous use-life" that is approximately normally distributed with mean 24 hours and standard deviation 2.13 hours. find the probability (to four places after the decimal) single rayovac battery lasts under 22 hours: mean "continuous use-life" of 4 randomly selected rayovac batteries is less than 22 hours: mean "continuous use-life" of 16 randomly selected rayovac batteries is less than 22 hours: mean "continuous use-life" of 64 randomly selected rayovac batteries is less than 22 hours: single duracell battery lasts under 22 hours: mean "continuous use-life" of 4 randomly selected duracell batteries is less than 22 hours: mean "continuous use-life" of 9 randomly selected duracell batteries is less than 22 hours: mean "continuous use-life" of 25 randomly selected duracell batteries is less than 22 hours: randomly selected rayovac battery lasts longer than a randomly selected duracell battrey: random samples of four of each kind, the rayovac batteries have a longer mean "continuous use-life" than do the duracell batteries:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rayovac type-D batteries

Mean

= 21 h

Standard deviation

= 1.38 h

Find the probability (to four places after the decimal) that a single Rayovac battery lasts under 22 hours:

Here we use the Normal N(0,1)

To find this value use either a table or a spreadsheet.

In Excel

NORMDIST(0.7246,0,1,1)

In OpenOffice Calc

NORMDIST(0.7246;0;1;1)

Whenever we have a sample size less than 30, we will be using the Student's t distribution with (sample size -1) degrees of freedom instead of the Normal.

Find the probability that the mean "continuous use-life" of 4 randomly selected Rayovac batteries is less than 22 hours:

To find this value use either a table or a spreadsheet.

In Excel

1-TDIST(1.4493,3,1)

In OpenOffice Calc

1-TDIST(1.4493;3;1)

Find the probability that the mean "continuous use-life" of 16 randomly selected Rayovac batteries is less than 22 hours:

To find this value use either a table or a spreadsheet.

In Excel

1-TDIST(2.8986,15,1)

In OpenOffice Calc

1-TDIST(2.8986 ;15;1)

Find the probability that the mean "continuous use-life" of 64 randomly selected Rayovac batteries is less than 22 hours:

Since the sample size is greater than 30 we can use back the Normal

To find this value use either a table or a spreadsheet.

In Excel

NORMDIST(5.7971,0,1,1)

In OpenOffice Calc

NORMDIST(5.7971;0;1;1)

Duracell type-D batteries

Mean

= 24 h

Standard deviation

= 2.13 h

Find the probability that a single Duracell battery lasts under 22 hours

Here we use the Normal N(0,1)

To find this value use either a table or a spreadsheet.

In Excel

NORMDIST(-0.9390,0,1,1)

In OpenOffice Calc

NORMDIST(-0.9390;0;1;1)

Find the probability that the mean "continuous use-life" of 4 randomly selected Duracell batteries is less than 22 hours:

To find this value use either a table or a spreadsheet.

In Excel

TDIST(1.8779,3,1)

In OpenOffice Calc

TDIST(1.8779;3;1)

Find the probability that the mean "continuous use-life" of 9 randomly selected Duracell batteries is less than 22 hours:

To find this value use either a table or a spreadsheet.

In Excel

TDIST(2.8169,8,1)

In OpenOffice Calc

TDIST(2.8169;8;1)

Find the probability that the mean "continuous use-life" of 25 randomly selected Duracell batteries is less than 22 hours:

To find this value use either a table or a spreadsheet.

In Excel

TDIST(4.6948,24,1)

In OpenOffice Calc

TDIST(4.6948;24;1)

Find the probability that a randomly selected Rayovac battery lasts longer than a randomly selected Duracell battery given random samples of four of each kind.
