Sat critical Reading Scores
200 less than x less than 450
Left side shaded 200
Score: 450
X side 800

The life span of a battery is normally distributed with a mean of 2200 hours and a t percent of batteries have a life standard deviation of 60 hours. What percent of batteries have a life span that is more than 2275 hours? Would it be unusual for a battery to have a life span that is more than 2275 hours? Explain your reasoning.

What percent of batteries have a life span more than 2275 hours?
Approximately _____% of batteries have a life span that is more than 2275 hours. (Round to two decimal places as needed).

Would it be unusual for a battery to have a life span that is more than 2275 hours? Explain your reasoning.

A. It is not unusual for a battery to have a life span that is more than 2275 hours because the z-score is not within 2 standard deviations of the mean.
B. It is not unusual for a battery to have a life span that is more than 2275 hours because the z-score is within 2 standard deviations of the mean.
C. It is unusual for a battery to have a life span that is more than 2275 hours because the z-score is not within 2 standard deviations of the mean.
D. It is not unusual for a battery to have a life span that is more than 2275 hours because the z-score is within 2 standard deviations of the mean

Use the standard normal table to find the z-score that corresponds to the given percentile. If the area is not in the table, use the entry closest to the area. If the area is halfway between two entries, use the z-score halfway between the corresponding z-scores. If convenient, use the technology to find the z-score.
