19.23.For Problem 19.22, calculate the probability distribu-
tion and plot the probability distribution curve.
19.24.For Problem 19.22, determine the probability (assum-
ing normal distribution) that a light bulb would have
a life expectancy between 800 and 1000 hours.
19.25.For Problem 19.22, determine the probability (assum-
ing normal distribution) that a light bulb would have
a life expectancy greater than 1000 hours.
19.26.For Problem 19.22, determine the probability (assum-
ing normal distribution) that a light bulb would have
a life expectancy less than 900 hours.
19.27.As a mechanical engineer working for an automobile
manufacturer, you conduct a survey and collect the fol-
lowing data in order to study the performance of an
engine that was designed many years ago. Plot the data
and calculate the mean and standard deviation.

19.33.As an engineer working for a water bottling company,
you collect the following data in order to test the per-
formance of the bottling systems. Plot the data and cal-
culate the mean and standard deviation.

maintenance before 90,000 miles.

19.34.For Problem 19.33, calculate the probability distribu-
tion and plot the probability distribution curve.
19.35.For Problem 19.33, determine the probability (assum-
ing normal distribution) that a bottle would be filled
between 500 and 515 milliliters.
19.36.For Problem 19.33, determine the probability (assum-
ing normal distribution) that a bottle would be filled
with more than 495 milliliters.
