A manufacturer produces gears for use in an engine’s transmission that have a mean diameter of 10.00 mm and a standard deviation of 0.03 mm. The length of these diameters follows the normal distribution. What is the probability that a randomly selected gear has a diameter between 9.96 mm and 10.01 mm?

Respuesta :

Answer: 0.2789

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Mean : [tex]\mu=10.00\ mm [/tex]

Standard deviation : [tex]\sigma =0.03\ mm[/tex]

The formula to calculate z-score is given by :_

[tex]z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

For x= 9.96 mm, we have

[tex]z=\dfrac{10-9.96}{0.03}\approx1.33[/tex]

For x= 10.01 mm, we have

[tex]z=\dfrac{10.01-10}{0.03}\approx0.33[/tex]

The P-value = [tex]P(0.33<z<1.33)=P(z<1.33)-P(z<0.33)[/tex]

[tex]= 0.9082408- 0.6293=0.2789408\approx0.2789[/tex]

Hence, the probability that a randomly selected gear has a diameter between 9.96 mm and 10.01 mm =0.2789

Answer:

Pr=0.2894

Step-by-step explanation:

given mean diameter =10 mm

standard deviation=0.03 mm

z equation is

z=x-μ/σ

The problem has two values of x

for x=9.96

z=-1.33

for x-10.01

z=0.33

from Probability table we have

Pr(-1.33<z<0.33)=pr(z<0.33)-pr(z>-1.33)

Pr=0.2894
