A survey found that people keep their laptops an average of 5.9 years and the standard deviation of 0.79 year. If Jane decides to buy a new laptop, find the probability that she owned the old laptop between 5.7 and 7.3 years. Assume that random variable is normally distributed.

The lifetime of a certain brand of laptops has a normal distribution with a mean of 6.2 and a standard deviation of 3 years. A- If we take a random sample of size 100 laptops of this brand, what is the probability that the sample average lifetime will be between 5 and 9 years? Is the probability you obtain here exact or approximate? B- What should the manufacturer have as a warranty so that at most 10% of their laptops will need to be serviced or replaced while under warranty?
