A cork intended for use in a wine bottle is considered acceptable if its diameter is between 2.9 cm and 3.1 cm (so the lower specification limit is LSL = 2.9 and the upper specification limit is USL = 3.1 ).

a. If cork diameter is a normally distributed variable with mean value 3.04 cm and standard deviation .02 cm, what is the probability that a randomly selected cork will conform to specification?

b. If instead the mean value is 3.00 and the standard deviation is .05, is the probability of conforming to specification smaller or larger than it was in (a)?
