The diameter of the dot produced by a printer is normally distributed with a mean diameter of 0.002 inch and a standard deviation of 0.0004 inch. A. What is the probability that the diameter of a dot exceeds 0.0026 inch? B. What is the probability that a diameter is between 0.0014 and 0.0026? C. What standard deviation of diameters is needed so that the probability in part (b) is 0.995?

(a) 0.06681

(b) 0.86638

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the diameter of the dot produced by a printer is normally distributed with a mean diameter of 0.002 inch and a standard deviation of 0.0004 inch i.e.; $\mu$ = 0.002 inch and $\sigma$ = 0.0004

Also, Z = $\frac{X -\mu}{\sigma}$ ~ N(0,1)

(a) Let X = diameter of a dot

P(X > 0.0026 inch) = P( $\frac{X -\mu}{\sigma}$ > $\frac{0.0026 -0.002}{0.0004}$ ) = P(Z > 1.5) = 1 - P(Z <= 1.5)

= 1 - 0.93319 = 0.06681

(b) P(0.0014 < X < 0.0026) = P(X < 0.0026) - P(X <= 0.0014)

P(X < 0.0026) = P( $\frac{X -\mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{0.0026 -0.002}{0.0004}$ ) = P(Z < 1.5) = 0.93319

P(X <= 0.0014) = P( $\frac{X -\mu}{\sigma}$ <= $\frac{0.0014 -0.002}{0.0004}$ ) = P(Z <= -1.5) = 1 - P(Z <= 1.5)

= 1 - 0.93319 = 0.06681

Therefore, P(0.0014 < X < 0.0026) = 0.93319 - 0.06681 = 0.86638 .

P( $\frac{0.0014 -0.002}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{X -\mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{0.0026 -0.002}{\sigma}$ ) = 0.995

P( $\frac{ -0.0006}{\sigma}$ < Z < $\frac{0.0006}{\sigma}$ ) = 0.995

P(Z < $\frac{0.0006}{\sigma}$ ) - P(Z <= $\frac{-0.0006}{\sigma}$ ) = 0.995

P(Z < $\frac{0.0006}{\sigma}$ ) - (1 - P(Z < $\frac{0.0006}{\sigma}$ ) ) = 0.995

2 * P(Z < $\frac{0.0006}{\sigma}$ ) - 1 = 0.995

P(Z < $\frac{0.0006}{\sigma}$ ) = 0.9975

On seeing the z table we observe that at critical value of x = 2.81 we get the probability area of 0.9975 i.e.;

$\frac{0.0006}{\sigma}$ = 2.81 ⇒ $\sigma$ = 0.000214

Therefore, 0.000214 standard deviation of diameters is needed so that the probability in part (b) is 0.995 .

step-by-step explanation:

the total is 23.97. 0.25% is off so you have to subtracting 25% from 100% and you will get 75% if you convert it to decimal you will get 0.75. you have to find the original because the formula is % times original = total.so you have the total and the % so you just have to plug it in.
