Y Could be any number. Like

Y x 5 = 10 The answer is 2 because 10 / 5 = 2

But Y could be 10 in Y x 2 = 20

The lengths of nails produced in a factory are normally distributed with a mean of 4.84 centimeters and a standard deviation of

Helga [31]

Answer:

Top 3%: 4.934 cm

Bottom 3%: 4.746 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 4.84, \sigma = 0.05$
