Steel rods are manufactured with a mean length of 22 centimeter (cm). Because of variability in the manufacturing process, the lengths of the rods are approximately normally distributed with a standard deviation of 0.06 cm. Click the icon to view a table of areas under the normal curve. (a) What proportion of rods has a length less than 21.9 cm? (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
