Answer:
The proportions of the diameters that are greater than 25.4 millimeters is 5%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
mean of the normal distribution, m = 25.1 millimeters
standard deviation, d = 0.08 millimeter
1 standard deviation above the mean = m + d = 25.1 + 0.08 = 25.18
2 standard deviation above mean = m + 2d = 25.1 + 2(0.08) = 25.26
3 standard deviation above the mean = m + 3d = 25.1 + 3(0.08) = 25.34
4 standard deviation above the mean = m + 4d = 25.1 + 4(0.08) = 25.42
To obtain a diameter greater than 25.4, we select data after 4 standard deviation above the mean.
Data within 4 standard deviation above the mean is 95%
Data outside 4 standard deviation above the mean is 5%
Therefore, the proportions of the diameters that are greater than 25.4 millimeters is 5%.
