Answer:

a.) The mean of the six layered plywood is 30 mm

    The standard deviation is 0.49 mm

b.) That the thickness is less than 28 mm has a probability of 0.000022.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are six layers in a plywood that is considered. It is also given that the layers are independent and normally distributed.

The thickness of the layers of the plywood have a mean, \mu = 5 mm

and a standard deviation, \sigma = 0.2 mm.

a.) Therefore the mean of the six layered plywood is = 6\mu

                                                                                   = 6 × 5 mmm

                                                                                   = 30 mm

 The standard deviation of the six layered plywood = \sqrt{6 \sigma^{2} } = \sqrt{6 \times (0.2)^2} = 0.49 mm

b.) We are given to find that the probability of the plywood is less than 28 mm thick.

   P( thickness < 28 mm)

   P( Z < \frac{(28 - 30)}{0.49})       =  P(Z < (\frac{-2}{0.49} ))        ⇒       P( Z < -4.082) = 0.000022
