Introduction to Normal Distributions

Question 8 • AZ-Common Core Algebra II B

The life of a certain brand of battery is normally distributed, with mean 128 hours and standard deviation 16 hours. What is the probability that a battery you buy lasts at most 100 hours? Standardize the variable.x = 100 is equivalent to z = –0.570.57–1.751.75.

Answer
A
–0.57
B
0.57
C
–1.75
D
1.75

Explanation

Standardize using z = (x − μ)/σ. For x = 100, mean μ = 128, and standard deviation σ = 16, z = (100 − 128)/16 = −28/16 = −1.75. So 100 hours corresponds to z = −1.75, choice C.
