A manufacturing plant uses light bulbs whose life spans are normally distributed, with mean and standard deviation

Question:

In order to minimize the number of bulbs that burn out during operating hours, all the bulbs are replaced after a given period of operation. How often should the bulbs be replaced if we wish no more than 1% of the bulbs to burn out between replacement periods?
