Question

Company XYZ know that replacement times for the quartz time pieces it produces are normally distributed with a mean of 12.8 years and a standard deviation of 1.6 years.

If the company wants to provide a warranty so that only 2.1% of the quartz time pieces will be replaced before the warranty expires, what is the time length of the warranty?
warranty = years

Enter your answer as a number accurate to 1 decimal place. Answers obtained using exact z-scores or z-scores rounded to 3 decimal places are accepted.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
