4. A company claims that their laptops have an average battery life of 6 hours with a standard deviation of 0.5 hours. Suppose a random sample of 36 laptops is taken from the production line. (a) Is it possible that the sample mean battery life is less than 5.5 hours? Explain. (b) Can the sample mean battery life be more than 6.2 hours? Justify your answer. (c) What can you say about the probability of the sample mean battery life being between 5.8 and 6.2 hours?
