Question: A popular flashlight that uses two D-size batteries was selected, and several of the same models were purchased to test the continuous-use life of D

A popular flashlight that uses two D-size batteries was selected, and several of the same models were purchased to test the "continuous-use life" of D batteries. As fresh batteries were installed, each flashlight was turned on and the time noted. When the flashlight no longer produced light, the time was again noted. The resulting "life" data from Rayovac batteries had a mean of 20.2 hours. Assume these values have a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 1.39 hours. (Give your answers correct to four decimal places.)

(a) What is the probability that one randomly selected Rayovac battery will have a test life between 19.7 and 21.1 hours?

(b) What is the probability that a randomly selected sample of4Rayovac batteries will have a mean test life between19.7and21.1hours?
