Question

An air filter is rated to catch 90% of airborne particles. If the average particle diameter is 0.5
microns and the population standard deviation is 0.2 microns, what is the largest diameter
particle (in microns) that will pass through the filter? Assume that the diameter of particles in
the air is normally distributed. round to three significant figures

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
