Can you answer the following showing formula used and all workings out.
The length of a screw manufactured by a company is normally distributed with mean 2.5cm and a standard deviation 0.1cm. Specifications call for the lengths to range from 2.4cm to 2.6cm.
1, what value of standard deviation is required so that less than 7% of screws have a length greater than 2.8cm?
2, another manufacturer produces the same screw for which 15% of the screws have length less than 1.75cm and 12% of the screws have length higher than 3.2cm. Find the mean and standard deviation of the length of the screw manufactured by the company assuming the length is normally distributed.
1.
The mean length of the screw is 2.5 cm.
Let be the value of
standard deviation is required so that less than 7% of screws have
a length greater than 2.8cm.
P(X > 2.8) = 0.07
P[Z > (2.8 - 2.5)/] = 0.07
0.3/ = 1.476 (Using
Standard normal distribution tables)
= 0.3 / 1.476 =
0.2033 cm.
2.
Let and
be
the length of the screw manufactured by the company.
Probability that screws have length less than 1.75cm = 0.15
P(X < 1.75) = 0.15
P[Z < (1.75 - ) /
] =
0.15
(1.75 - ) /
=
-1.036 ---(1) (Using Standard normal
distribution tables)
Probability that screws have length higher than 3.2 cm = 0.12
P(X > 3.2) = 0.12
P[Z < (3.2 - ) /
] =
1.175
(3.2 - ) /
=
1.175 ---(2) (Using Standard normal distribution
tables)
Dividing (1) by (2), we get
(1.75 - ) / (3.2 -
) = -1.036
/ 1.175
1.75 - = -0.8817 * (3.2 -
)
1.75 - = -2.82144 +
0.8817
1.8817 = 1.75 +
2.82144
= 4.57144 / 1.8817
= 2.4294 cm
From (1),
(1.75 - 2.4294) / = -1.036
= -0.6794 /
-1.036 = 0.6558 cm

Can you answer the following showing workings out and formula used. The length of a screw manufactured by a company is normally distributed with mean 2.5cm and a standard deviation 0.1cm. Specifications call for the lengths to range from 2.4cm to 2.6 cm. a, What proportion of parts will be greater than 2.65cm? b, What length is exceeded by 10% of the parts? c, What percentage of parts will not meet the specification? d, If you randomly pick three of...
Question 3: a.) A manufacturer knows that their items have a normally distributed length, with a mean of 19.6 inches, and standard deviation of 2.4 inches. If 4 items are chosen at random, what is the probability that their mean length is less than 17.5 inches? b.) A manufacturer knows that their items have a normally distributed lifespan, with a mean of 7.5 years, and standard deviation of 0.7 years. If you randomly purchase 14 items, what is the probability...

Steel rods are manufactured with a mean length of 28 centimeter (cm). Because of variability in the manufacturing process, the lengths of the rods are approximately normally distributed with a standard deviation of 0.06 cm. Click the icon to view a table of areas under the normal curve (a) What proportion o rods has a length less than 27.9 cm? Round to four decimal places as needed.)
