Vendor A’s light bulbs have a mean life time of 800 hours and a standard deviation of 175 hours. Vendor B’s light bulbs also have a mean life time of 800 hours but a standard deviation of 225 hours. You want light bulbs that have more life time consistency which vendor will you purchase from? (Points : 6) Vendor A because you will be more likely get light bulbs with the same life time Vendor B because you will be more likely get light bulbs with the same life time Either one because both produce light bulbs with the same mean life time. Neither one because a mean height of 800 inches is too short for a light bulb. 10.(TCO 4) A jar contains balls of four different colors; red blue yellow and green.
