A manufacturer knows that their items have a normally
distributed length, with a mean of 19.3 inches, and standard
deviation of 3.8 inches.
If one item is chosen at random, what is the probability that it is
less than 27.3 inches long?
Solution:
Given, X follows Normal distribution with,
= 19.3
= 3.8
Find P(X < 27.3)
P(X < 27.3)
= P[(X - )/ < (27.3 - )/]
= P[Z < (27.3 - 19.3)/3.8]
= P[Z < 2.105]
= 0.9824 ... ( use z table)
Required probability = 0.9824
