The diameters of bolts produced in a machine shop are normally distributed with a mean of 6.4 millimeters and a standard deviation of 0.06 millimeters. Find the two diameters that separate the top 5% and the bottom 5%. These diameters could serve as limits used to identify which bolts should be rejected. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.

The bolts with diameter less than 5.57 millimeters and with diameter greater than 5.85 millimeters should be rejected.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the diameters of bolts produced in a machine shop are normally distributed with a mean of 5.71 millimeters and a standard deviation of 0.08 millimeters.

Let us find the sample score that corresponds to z-score of bottom 4%.

From normal distribution table we got z-score corresponding to bottom 4% is -1.75 and z-score corresponding to top 4% or data above 96% is 1.75.

Upon substituting these values in z-score formula we will get our sample scores (x) as:

Therefore, the bolts with diameters less than 5.57 millimeters should be rejected.

Now let us find sample score corresponding to z-score of 1.75 as upper limit.

Therefore, the bolts with diameters greater than 5.85 millimeters should be rejected
