The diameters of bolts produced by a certain machine are normally distributed with a mean of 1.20 inches and a standard deviation of 0.01 inches. What proportion of bolts will have a diameter greater than 1.211 inches

0.1357 = 13.57% of bolts will have a diameter greater than 1.211 inches

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 1.20 inches and a standard deviation of 0.01 inches.

This means that

What proportion of bolts will have a diameter greater than 1.211 inches?

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 1.211. So

has a p-value of 0.8643.

1 - 0.8643 = 0.1357

0.1357 = 13.57% of bolts will have a diameter greater than 1.211 inches

the radius is 2 times the diameter.

they aren't great and cause destruction, idk man
