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

Let , random variable x be the diameter of the corks.
X follows Normal distribution with ,
Mean = = 3 cm
Standard deviation = = 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 )
