- The lengths of bolts produced in a factory may be taken to be normally distributed. The botlts are checked on two "go-no go" gauges and those shorter tthan 2.9 or longer than 3.1 inches are rejected. A random sample of 50 bolts are checked. If the n1 = 12 and n2 = 12, estimate the mean and the standard deviation for these bolts. State your assumptions. n1 being the number of bolts below 2.9 and n2 is the number of bolts above 3.1.arrow_forwardThe average price of a college math textbook is $180 and the standard deviation is $26.
