that is approximately normally distributed, with mean equal to 800
hours and a standard deviation of 40 hours. Find the probability
that a random sample of 16 bulbs will have an average life of less
than 775 hours.

Problem 8
A salesperson for a medical device company has two
appointments on a given day. At the first appointment, he believes
that he has a 70% chance to make the deal, from which he can
earn Php 50,000 commission if successful. On the other hand, he
thinks he only has a 40% chance to make the deal at the second
appointment, from which, if successful, he can make Php75, 000.
What is his expected commission based on his own probability
belief? Assume that the appointment results are independent of
each other.
