The lengths of metal strips produced by a machine process are normally distributed with a mean length of 50 cm and a standard deviation of 5 cm. Giving your answer to 4 decimal places, find the probability that the length of a randomly selected strip is: a. Shorter than 46 cm b. Longer than 55 cm c. Between 38 cm and 59 cm

The thicknesses of metal plates made by a particular machine have a mean of 4.3 mm and a standard deviation of 0.12 mm. a. Determine the probability that the mean plate thickness of a random sample of 50 metal plates is between 4.28 mm and 4.32 mm. b. What is the probability that 50 randomly chosen metal plates placed one on top of another have a total thickness greater than 216 mm?
