The thickness of a part is to have an upper specification of 0.925 and a lower specification of 0.870 mm. the average of the process is currently 0.917 with a standard deviation of 0.005. what is the probability that the product specification will be above 0.90 mm?

To solve this problem, we make use of the z statistic. The formula for the z score is:z score = (x – u) / swhere x is the sample value = 0.90, u is the sample mean = 0.917, and s is the standard deviation = 0.005
Therefore:z score = (0.90 – 0.917) / 0.005z score = -3.4
From the standard probability tables, the p-value for a right tailed test of z = -3.4 is:P = 0.9997
Therefore there is a 99.97% chance that it will be above 0.90 mm

first anwser choice.

step-by-step explanation:

the greater/less or equal to symbol (> or < with the line at the bottom) is a closed/filled in circle.

when multiplying or dividing by a negative on both sides you have to flip the inequality sign. this rule only applies to multiplying or dividing by a negative number in inequality equations. this rule is really important.

-5c + 2 _< _27

subtract from both sides by 2

-5c _< _ 27

divide both sides by -5

c _< _ 5.4

flip the inequality sign

c _> _5.4

the only possible answer that would match the simplified inequality is the first answer choice
