Answer:

The probability that the average length of rods in a randomly selected bundle of steel rods is greater than 259 cm is 0.65173.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a company produces steel rods. The lengths of the steel rods are normally distributed with a mean of 259.2 cm and a standard deviation of 2.1 cm. For shipment, 17 steel rods are bundled together.

Let \bar X = <u><em>the average length of rods in a randomly selected bundle of steel rods</em></u>

The z-score probability distribution for the sample mean is given by;

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

where, \mu = population mean length of rods = 259.2 cm

           \sigma = standard deviaton = 2.1 cm

           n = sample of steel rods = 17

Now, the probability that the average length of rods in a randomly selected bundle of steel rods is greater than 259 cm is given by = P(\bar X > 259 cm)

 

     P(\bar X > 259 cm) = P( \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } > \frac{259-259.2}{\frac{2.1}{\sqrt{17} } } ) = P(Z > -0.39) = P(Z < 0.39)

                                                                = <u>0.65173</u>

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.39 in the z table which has an area of 0.65173.
