The lifespan of a car battery averages six years. Suppose the batterylifespan follows an exponential distribution.(a) Find the probability that a randomly selected car battery will lastmore than four years.(b) Find the variance and the 95th percentile of the battery lifespan.(c) Suppose a three-year-old battery is still going strong. (i) Find theprobability the battery will last an additional five years. (ii) Howmuch longer is this battery expected to last

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X denote the life span of a car battery and it follows and exponential distribution with average of 6 years.

Thus , the parameter of the exponential distribution is calculated as,

μ = 6

a) The required probability is

= 0.513

Hence, the probability that a randomly selected car battery will last more than four years is 0.513

b) The variance of the battery span is calculated as

The 95% percentile (α = 5%) of the battery span is calculated

c)  

Let denote the remaining life time of a car battery

i)the probability the battery will last an additional five years is calculated below

ii) The average time that the battery is expected to last is calculated

then, the surface area of the sphere shown in the image is: 256π sq. units!

step-by-step explanation:

the lateral surface area of a sphere is 2πrh where h=2r.

then:

surface area = 4πr^2.

in this case, r=8 units ⇒ surface area = 4π(8 units)^2. = 256π sq. units!

then, the surface area of the sphere shown in the image is: 256π sq. units!
