A manufacturing process is designed to produce bolts with a 0.5-inch diameter. Once each day, a random sample of 36 bolts is selected and the bolt diameters are recorded. If the resulting sample mean is less than 0.49 inches or greater than 0.51 inches, the process is shut down for adjustment. The standard deviation for diameter is 0.02 inches. What is the probability that the manufacturing line will be shut down unnecessarily? (Hint: Find the probability of observing an in the shutdown range when the true process mean really is 0.5 inches.)
