Q1 / The average internal diameter measurements of iron tubes (M = 10 cm), if you know that 88% of the company's production is within the limits of the specification (M + 0.07, M-0.07), calculate the percentage of pipes with a diameter greater than 9.5 cm. 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Standard normal distribution:

The standard normal distribution is a special case of normal distribution. The standard normal distribution will have mean 0 and standard deviation 1. If a random variable X follows normal distribution with mean (m) and standard deviation (σ), then the standard normal variable z will be as given below:

Statistics homework question answer, step 1, image 1

Compute the value of standard deviation:

Denote the diameter measurement of iron tube by X.

Given that the mean internal diameter measurements of iron tubes is m = 10 cm.

The standard deviation of internal diameter measurements of iron tubes is obtained as 0.045 from the calculation given below:
