Survey indicates ppl use their cell an average of 1.5 yrs before buying a new one. The stand dev is .25 yrs. Cell phone user randomly selected. Find prob user will use phone for less than 1 yr before buying new on. Assume variable x is normally dist. | u=1.5, o=.25, shaded area x<1; z-score=(1-1.5)/.23=-2; P(z<-2)=.0228. So 2.28% of cellular phone users will use their cellular phone for less than 1 yr before buying a new one. |
