It is well documented that a typical washing machine can last anywhere between 5 to 20 years. Let the life of a washing machine be represented by a lognormal variable, Y = ex where X is normally distributed. In addition, let the mean and standard deviation of the life of a washing machine be 10 and half years and 3 years, respectively. [You may find it useful to reference the z table.] a. Compute the mean and the standard deviation of X. (Round your intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and final answers to 4 decimal places.) Mean Standard deviation b. What proportion of the washing machines will last for more than 12 years? (Round your intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and final answer to 4 decimal places.) Proportion c. What proportion of the washing machines will last for less than 9 years? (Round your intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and final answer to 4 decimal places.) Proportion d. Compute the 60th percentile of the life of the washing machines. (Round your intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and final answer to the nearest whole number.) The 60th percentile
