The diameters of ball bearings produced at a factory are approximately normally distributed. Suppose the mean diameter is 1.040 cm and the standard deviation is 0.06 cm. The product specifications require that the diameter of each ball bearing be between 0.980cm and 1.100cm. What is the probability that the diameter is between 0.980cm and 1.100cm?

Step 1
We are given that the mean diameter is 1.040 cm and the standard deviation is 0.06 cm. So, we have a normal distribution with $\mu = 1.040$ and $\sigma = 0.06$. Show more…

The diameters of ball bearings are distributed normally. The mean diameter is 8181 millimeters and the variance is 1616. Find the probability that the diameter of a selected bearing is between 7878 and 8585 millimeters. Round your answer to four decimal places.

The mean diameter of a ball bearing produced by a certain manufacturer is 0.80 cm with a standard deviation of 0.03 cm. A sample of 36 ball bearings is randomly selected from a production run. Suppose the diameter is normally distributed. c. What is the probability that a randomly selected ball bearing will have a diameter of less than 0.798 cm? d. What is the probability that the sample of ball bearings will have a sample mean less than 0.798 cm? e. Explain why your answers in parts c and d are not the same.
