Steel rods are manufactured with a mean length of 22 centimeter (cm). Because of variability in the manufacturing process, the lengths of the rods are approximately normally distributed with a standard deviation of 0.06 cm. Click the icon to view a table of areas under the normal curve. (a) What proportion of rods has a length less than 21.9 cm? (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

Steel rods are manufactured with a mean length of 22 centimeter (cm). Because of variability in the manufacturing process, the lengths of the rods are approximately normally distributed with a standard deviation of 0.06 cm. Click the icon to view a table of areas under the normal curve. (a) What proportion of rods has a length less than 21.9 cm? (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

Steel rods are manufactured with a mean length of 22 centimeter (cm). Because of variability in the manufacturing process, the lengths of the rods are approximately normally distributed with a standard deviation of 0.06 cm. Click the icon to view a table of areas under the normal curve. (a) What proportion of rods has a length less than 21.9 cm? 0.0475 (Round to four decimal places as needed.) (b) Any rods that are shorter than 21.86 cm or longer than 22.14 cm are discarded. What proportion of rods will be discarded? 0.0196 (Round to four decimal places as needed.) (c) Using the results of part (b), if 5000 rods are manufactured in a day, how many should the plant manager expect to discard? 98 (Use the answer from part b to find this answer. Round to the nearest integer as needed.) (d) If an order comes in for 10,000 steel rods, how many rods should the plant manager expect to manufacture if the order states that all rods must be between 21.9 cm and 22.1 cm? (Round up to the nearest integer.)
