Topic 5.2 Normal Distribution Revisited

1.) The amount of time that a double A battery lasts powering a standard remote in minutes approximately follows a Normal distribution
with a mean of 230 minutes and a standard deviation of 7 minutes. Answer the following.

a.) Draw a picture of the distribution and label the x-axis based on what is common within a normal distribution.

b.) What is the probability that a double A battery in a remote lasts between 215 and 240 minutes?

c.) What is the probability that a double A battery in a remote lasts longer than 220 minutes?

d.) What is the probability that a double A battery in a remote lasts less than 210 minutes?

e.) What is the probability that a double A battery in a remote lasts longer than 260 minutes?

f.) If a double A battery in a remote did last longer than 260 minutes would you be surprised? What could it possibly mean if you
actually found such a battery?

3.) Another candy company called Misty’s Mints aso makes individually wrapped candies whose weights follow a normal distribution with a
mean of 608 mg. A candy from Misty’s Mints that weighs 620 mg is at the 90th percentile. What is the standard deviation for the weights
of candies from Misty’s Mints? Show all work.

4.) Jerry’s Hard Candy also sells individually wrapped candies whose weights follow a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 12 mg.
