The probability that the plant manufactures a part between 10.8 and 12.8 centimeters 13%

<h3>How to find the probability that the part is between 10.8 and 12.8 centimeters</h3>

The probability is solved z scores, this measures the amount of standard deviation sample X is from mean. the formula is below

z = (X - μ) / σ

<u>Definition of variables</u>

mean, μ = 16.3 centimeters

standard deviation, σ = 2.5 centimeters

X = 10.8 and 12.8 centimeters

z score, z

substituting into the formula

for X = 12.8 centimeters

= (X - μ) / σ

= (12.8 - 16.3) / 2.5

= -1.4

the p value for z of -1.4 = 0.161513

for X = 10.8 centimeters

= (X - μ) / σ

= (10.8 - 16.3) / 2.5

= -2.2

the p value for z of -2.2 = 0.027807

the probability is calculated as below

0.161513 - 0.027807= 0.133706

= 0.13

=13%
