The diameters of bolts produced by a certain machine are normally distributed with a mean of 0.30 inches and a standard deviation of 0.01 inches. What percentage of bolts will have a diameter greater than 0.32 inches?
Added by Kristina M.
Step 1
32 inches, μ = 0.30 inches, and σ = 0.01 inches z = (0.32 - 0.30) / 0.01 z = 0.02 / 0.01 z = 2 Show more…

The Normal Distribution
In Exercises $32-34,$ assume a normal distribution. Machine Accuracy A machine produces screws with a mean length of 2.5 $\mathrm{cm}$ and a standard deviation of 0.2 $\mathrm{cm} .$ Find the probabilities that a screw produced by this machine has lengths as follows. a. Greater than 2.7 $\mathrm{cm}$ b. Within 1.2 standard deviations of the mean
