selected part can withstand more than 1050 N? 17. The tensile strength of a certain material is normally distributed with a mean of 500 MPa and a standard deviation of 50 MPa. (i) What tensile strength value separates the top 10% of the material from the rest? (ii) What tensile strength value corresponds to the 25th percentile? 18 The lifespan of a certain tune of haoring is normally distributed with a mean of 1000

Step 1
We are given that $X$ is normally distributed with a mean $\mu = 500$ MPa and a standard deviation $\sigma = 50$ MPa. We can write this as $X \sim N(500, 50^2)$. Show more…

Suppose that the tensile strength of a particular wood is lognormally distributed with a mean of 10 MPa and a coefficient of variation of 25%. If a random sample of this wood is tested, (a) What is the probability that its tensile strength will lie between 6 and 12 MPa? (b) Suppose that the design tensile strength of this wood is its 10th percentile. What is this wood's design tensile strength? (Note: the 10th percentile is the value, x10, such that P[X < x10] = 0.1)
