Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:2.28% Step-by-step explanation:Mean life span (ΞΌ) = 500 days Standard deviation (Οƒ) = 100 days The z-score for any given life span, 'X', is given by the following expression; [tex]z=\frac{X- \mu}{\sigma}[/tex] For a 300 day life span, the z-score is:[tex]z=\frac{300-500}{100}\\z=-2.0[/tex]According to a z-score table, a z-score of -2.0 falls into the 2.28th percentile of a normal distribution.Thus, CCC should expect 2.28% of their products sold to be replaced under warranty.
