Question:

The City Engineer’s department installs 10 000 fluorescent lamp bulbs in street lamp standards. The bulbs have an average life of 7000 operating hours with a standard deviation of 400 hours. Assuming that the life of the bulbs, L, is a normal random variable, what number of bulbs might be expected to have failed after 6000 operating hours? If the engineer wishes to adopt a routine replacement policy which ensures that no more than 5% of the bulbs fail before their routine replacement, after how long should the bulbs be replaced?
