The diameters of bolts produced in a machine shop are normally distributed with a mean of 5.11 millimeters and a standard deviation of 0.07 millimeters. Find the two diameters that separate the top 9% and the bottom 9%. These diameters could serve as limits used to identify which bolts should be rejected. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.

The diameter that separates the bottom 9% is 5.02 millimeters.

The diameter that separates the top 9% is 5.2 millimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 5.11 millimeters and a standard deviation of 0.07 millimeters.

This means that

Bottom 9%:

The 9th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.09. So X when Z = -1.34.

The diameter that separates the bottom 9% is 5.02 millimeters.

Top 9%:

The 100 - 9 = 91th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.91. So X when Z = 1.34.

The diameter that separates the top 9% is 5.2 millimeters.

hey there!

if she's saving for six months, let's divide the total number we need for the trip by six, dividing it into the amount that needs to be saved for each month.

500 ÷ 6 =

she needs to save at least this amount each month, so we should use this symbol: ≥

let x be the amount she saves each month.

your final answer is x ≥

hope this !
