Tutorial Q1.1
The lifetime of a certain make of car battery is found to be normally distributed with a mean of
1250 days and a standard deviation of 175 days. How many months warranty could the
manufacturer give so that no more than 6% need replacement. (Take 1 month = 30 days)
-3
6%
-2
d₁ - 1250
175
44%

f(z)=√2/exp=2²2
50%

3
0
f(z) dz = 0.44
gives
z = 1.555
If d1 is the number of days by which 6% of the batteries fail, (and therefore
need replacing under guarantee), then :
=
= -1.555 and d₁ = 977.9 days or
32.6 months
