  1. The hardness of a metal is determined by forcing a hardened point into the surface and then measuring the depth of penetration of the point. Suppose the hardness of a particular metal is normally distributed with mean 70 and standard deviation 3.
  1. If a sample is acceptable only if its hardness is between 67 and 75, what is the probability that a randomly chosen sample has an acceptable hardness? (12 pts)
  2. If the acceptable range of hardness is (70-c, 70+c), for what value of c would 95% of all specimens have acceptable hardness? (13 pts)

The manufacturer of hardness testing equipment uses​ steel-ball indenters to penetrate metal that is being tested.​ However, the manufacturer thinks it would be better to use a diamond indenter so that all types of metal can be tested. Because of differences between the two types of​ indenters, it is suspected that the two methods will produce different hardness readings. The metal specimens to be tested are large enough so that two indentions can be made.​ Therefore, the manufacturer uses both...
