Two resistors, with resistances R1 and R2, are connected in series. R1 is normally distributed with mean 100 ohms and standard deviation 5 ohms, and R2 is normally distributed with mean 120 ohms and standard deviation 10 ohms. Assume that the resistors are independent. Compute P (R subscript 2 greater than R subscript 1 ). Round your answer to four decimal places.

The probability that R2 is bigger than R1 is P=0.9633.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to compute the probability that R2 is bigger than R1:

To do this,  we define a new variable Das the difference between the two resistances:

Then,

As R1 and R2 are normal random variables, the properties of D are:

Then, we can calculate the z-value for D=0
