Automated manufacturing operations are quite precise but still vary, often with distribution that are close to Normal. The width

in inches of slots cut by a milling machine follows approximately the N(0.72,0.0012) distribution. The specifications allow slot widths between 0.71975 and 0.72025. What proportion of slots meet these specifications

Answer:

The proportion of slots which meet these specifications is 0.16634 or 16.63%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the width in inches of slots cut by a milling machine follows approximately the N(0.72,0.0012) distribution.

Also, the specifications allow slot widths between 0.71975 and 0.72025.

<u><em>Let X = width in inches of slots cut by a milling machine </em></u>

The z-score probability distribution for normal distribution is given by;

                           Z = \frac{  X-\mu}{{\sigma}} }} } ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean width = 0.72

            \sigma = standard deviation = 0.0012

           

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) 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.

Now, Probability that the specifications allow slot widths between 0.71975 and 0.72025 is given by = P(0.71975 < X < 0.72025)

      P(0.71975 < X < 0.72025)  = P(X < 0.72025) - P(X \leq 0.71975)

     P(X < 0.72025) = P( \frac{  X-\mu}{{\sigma}} }} } < \frac{ 0.72025-0.72}{{0.0012}} }} } ) = P(Z < 0.21) = 0.58317

     P(X \leq 0.71975) = P( \frac{  X-\mu}{{\sigma}} }} } \leq \frac{ 0.71975-0.72}{{0.0012}} }} } ) = P(Z \leq -0.21) = 1 - P(Z < 0.21)

                                                                    = 1 - 0.58317 = 0.41683

<em>So, in the z table the P(Z </em>\leq<em> x) or P(Z < x) is given. So, the above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.21 in the z table which has an area of 0.58317.</em>

Therefore, <em> </em>P(0.71975 < X < 0.72025)  = 0.58317 - 0.41683 = <u>0.16634</u>

Hence, the proportion of slots who meet these specifications is 16.63%.

The answer too this??? And how to solve
julia-pushkina [17]

alright then, 12x + 17 = 66! we started with 17 and there is twelve months with x amount of inches grown plus the already 17 that equals the total 66

so it is 12x + 17 = 66
