Question

Steel rods are manufactured with a mean length of 27 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.

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 26.9cm and 27.1cm?

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.
