Lazarus Steel Corporation produces iron rods that are supposed to be 36 inches long. The machine that makes these rods does not produce each rod exactly 36 inches long. The lengths of the rods are normally distributed, and they vary slightly. It is known that when the machine is working properly, the mean length of the rods is 36 inches. The standard deviation of the lengths of all rods produced on this machine is always equal to .035 inch. The...

A machine at Katz Steel Corporation makes 3-inch-long nails. The probability distribution of the lengths of these nails is approximately normal with a mean of 3 inches and a standard deviation of 0.12 inch. The quality control inspector takes a sample of 25 nails once a week and calculates the mean length of these nails. If the mean of this sample is either less than 2.95 inches or greater than 3.05 inches, the inspector concludes that the machine needs an...
1. Many companies use a incoming shipments of parts, raw materials, and so on. In the electronics industry, component parts are commonly shipped from suppliers in large lots. Inspection of a sample of n components can be viewed as the n trials of a binomial experimem. The outcome for each component tested (trialD will be that the component is classified as good or defective defective components in the lot do not exceed 1 %. Suppose a random sample of fiver...
