The weight of the contents of a jar may be modelled by a Normal distribution. 18% weigh more than 428g and 30% weigh more than 416g. Find the
mean.
Assume that the lifetime of a certain type of light bulb may be modelled by a Normal distribution. It is found that 7% of the bulbs last for more than 1230 hours and 12% for less than 1070 hours. What
is
the
standard
deviation of the lifetime of these bulbs? Slide4
