First, convert the percentage into a decimal by removing the % sign and dividing by 100.
40% => 0.4
The word 'of' in mathematics can mean multiplication.
0.4 * 126 = 50.4
I did some research, and I think it's the first one. PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG!!
Here's why, because the first segment extends from 0 to 1. So, x has to be 0 or larger, but less than 1 or 1.
Mean = 0.497 in, SD = 0.003 in
Required diameter ranges between 0.496 in and 0.504 in
Anything other diameter obtained is not acceptable.
That is;
P(x<0.496) and P(x>0.504) are not acceptable.
Now,
P(x<0.496) = P(Z< (0.496-0.497)/0.003)) = P(Z<-0.33)
From Z tables, P(Z<-0.33) = 0.3707
Similarly,
P(x>0.504) = P(Z> (0.504-0.497)/0.003)) = P(Z>2.33)
From Z tables, P(Z>2.33) = 1-0.9901 = 0.0099
Therefore, unacceptable proportion = P(x<0.496)+P(x>0.504) = 0.3707+0.0099 = 0.3806 or 38.06%
