In a normal distribution, x = 3 and z = 0.67. This tells you that x = 3 is ____ standard deviations to the ____ (right or left) of the mean.
The life of Sunshine CD players is normally distributed with a mean of years and a standard deviation of years. A CD player is guaranteed for three years
Find the percentile of the distribution for the time a CD player lasts
a. Sketch the situation. Label and scale the axes. Shade the region corresponding to the lower .

b. Therefore,
Use the following information to answer the next two exercises: The life of Sunshine CD players is normally distributed with mean of 4.1 years and a standard deviation of 1.3 years. A CD player is guaranteed for three years. We are interested in the length of time a CD player lasts.
