Resistors with a value of 1500 ohms are produced in a factory. There are deviations in the values of these produced resistances and if this deviation is more than 15%, those resistors are not used. Suppose the values of the generated resistors are an X random variable with a Gaussian distribution. Since the average value of these resistors is 1500 ohms and the standard deviation is 100 ohms, what is the probability that a produced resistor will not be used?

A particular fruit's weights are normally distributed, with a mean of 635 grams and a standard deviation of 27 grams. If you pick one fruit at random, what is the probability that it will weigh between 589 grams and 658 grams? Express your answer in 4 decimal places.
A supervisor at a local widget making company has been monitoring the output of one of the machines used to manufacture small aluminum plates. Past data indicate that if the machine is operating "properly," the length of the plates produced by this machine can be modeled as being normally distributed with a mean of 117 centimeters and a standard deviation of 5.2 centimeters. Suppose 16 plates produced by this machine are randomly selected. What is the probability that the average length of these 16 plates will be between 116 and 120 centimeters when the machine is operating "properly?" Z and t TABLES ARE GIVEN AS QUESTIONS 28-29.
