Question
A company produces steel rods. The lengths of the steel rods are normally distributed with a mean of 144 cm and a standard deviation of 1.9 cm. For shipment, 48 steel rods are bundled together. **Round all answers to four decimal places if necessary.**

a. What is the distribution of \( X \)? \( X \sim N(144, 1.9) \)

b. What is the distribution of \(\bar{x}\)? \(\bar{x} \sim N(144, \, \text{[standard deviation not provided]})\)

c. For a single randomly selected steel rod, find the probability that the length is between 143.6 cm and 143.7 cm. (No further details provided)

d. For a bundled of 48 rods, find the probability that the average length is between 143.6 cm and 143.7 cm. (No further details provided)

e. For part d), is the assumption of normal necessary? Yes.
