The Normal Distribution
Solution:
Based on Standard Normal Table:
(a) P( z 0.73) 0.7673
(c ) P ( z 1.51) 0
1 –.9345
0.9345
(d ) P( z 2.03) 0.9788
Solution:
Based on Standard Normal Table:
(a) P( z z 0 ) 0.9750 , z 0 1.96
(d ) P( z z 0 ) 0.9966 , z 0 2.71

Example 3:
A supplier manufactures bolts whose diameter is normally
distributed with a mean of 2.60 mm, and a standard
deviation of 0.02 mm. Find the probability that a bolt has a
diameter of:
(a)Less than 2.625 mm
(b)Less than 2.586 mm
(c)More than 2.623 mm
(d)More than 2.579 mm
(e)Between 2.576 mm and 2.619 mm
Solution:
x
Since 2.6 and 0.02 , z becomes
x - 2.6
z , where the variable x is the diameter

Answers:
4(a) 0.5858 (b) 0.4199 (c) 0.2266 (d) 5987
5. A machine produces car pistons. The diameter of the
pistons follows a normal distribution, mean 6.04 cm with
the standard deviation of 0.02 cm. The piston is
acceptable if its diameter is in the range 6.010 cm to 6.055
cm. What percentage of pistons is acceptable?
Answer:
5. 71%
