The temperature at any random location in a kiln used for manufacturing bricks is normally distributed with a mean of 1000°f and a standard deviation of 50°f. when glazed bricks are put in the oven, if the temperature is below 900°f, they will discolor. if the bricks are placed randomly throughout the kiln, what percentage of glazed bricks will discolor?

Solution: We are given:

Temperature at any random location in a kiln used for manufacturing bricks is normally distributed with mean standard deviation

We have to find the percentage of glazed bricks that will discolor. A brick will discolor if the temperature is below 900°f.

Therefore, we have to find

Using the z score formula, we have:

Now we have to find

Using the standard normal table, we have:

Therefore, 2.28% of glazed bricks will discolor.
