A particular manufacturing design requires a shaft with a diameter between 22.87 mm and 23.012 mm. The manufacturing process yields shafts with diameters normally distributed, with a mean of 23.004 mm and a standard deviation of 0.004 mm. Complete parts (a) through (c). Click here to view page 1 of the cumulative standardized normal distribution table. Click here to view page 2 of the cumulative standardized normal distribution table. a. For this process what is the proportion of shafts with a diameter between 22.87 mm and 23.00 mm? The proportion of shafts with diameter between 22.87 mm and 23.00 mm is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
Continuous Probability Distributions
Probability distributions are of two types, which are continuous probability distributions and discrete probability distributions. A continuous probability distribution contains an infinite number of values. For example, if time is infinite: you could count from 0 to a trillion seconds, billion seconds, so on indefinitely. A discrete probability distribution consists of only a countable set of possible values.
Normal Distribution
Suppose we had to design a bathroom weighing scale, how would we decide what should be the range of the weighing machine? Would we take the highest recorded human weight in history and use that as the upper limit for our weighing scale? This may not be a great idea as the sensitivity of the scale would get reduced if the range is too large. At the same time, if we keep the upper limit too low, it may not be usable for a large percentage of the population!

**Homework: Module 6, Part I**
**Problem 6.2.13**
- **Objective:** To determine the proportion of shafts produced with diameters falling within a specified range.
**Problem Statement:**
A manufacturing process designs shafts with diameters ranging from 22.87 mm to 23.012 mm. The diameters of the produced shafts are normally distributed, having:
