Question

Corks for bottles in a certain manufacturing process are produced in such a way that the diameter of the corks has a Normal Distribution with a mean=3cm and standard deviation=0.1cm. The specifications call for corks with diameters between 2.9 and 3.1cm. What percentage of the produced corks do NOT meet specification?

 

(a) 31.74% (b) 53.98% (c ) 68.26% (d) 84.13% (e) Cannot be answered

Expert Solution
Check Mark
Step 1

Let , random variable x be the diameter of the corks.

X follows Normal distribution with ,

Mean = μ = 3 cm

Standard deviation = σ = 0.1cm

The specifications call for corks with diameters between 2.9 and 3.1cm.

We have to find percentage of the produced corks do NOT meet specification.

i.e  P( x < 2.9  or x > 3.1 )
