A company produces steel rods. The lengths of the steel rods are normally distributed with a mean of 163.1-cm and a standard deviation of 1.6-cm. For shipment, 10 steel rods are bundled together. Round all answers to four decimal places if necessary. For a single randomly selected steel rod, find the probability that the length is between 163.2-cm and 163.8-cm.For a bundled of 10 rods, find the probability that the average length is between 163.2-cm and 163.8-cm

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
