Steel rods are manufactured with a mean length of 27 centimeter (cm). Because of variability in the manufacturing process, the lengths of the rods are approximately normally distributed with a standard deviation of 0.07 cm. Complete parts (a) to (d). (a) What proportion of rods has a length less than 26.9 cm? 0.0766 (Round to four decimal places as needed.) (b) Any rods that are shorter than 26.85 cm or longer than 27.15 cm are discarded. What proportion of rods will be discarded? (Round to four decimal places as heeded.)

Assume that the mean height of men in the United States is 70 inches, with a standard deviation of 3 inches. A particular man is 80 inches tall. Find the z-score of his height. (Round to two decimal places.)
Assume that the readings on the thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of 0° and standard deviation of 1.00°C. Assume 2.1% of the thermometers are rejected because they have readings that are too high and another 2.1% are rejected because they have readings that are too low. Draw a sketch and find the two readings that are cutoff values separating the rejected thermometers from the others.
