The Gilbert Machinery Company has received a big order to produce electric motors for a manufacturing company. In order to fit in its bearing, the drive shaft of the motor must have a diameter of 5.1 ± 0.05 (inches). The company’s purchasing agent realizes that there is a large stock of steel rods in inventory with a mean diameter of 5.07’’ and a standard deviation of 0.07’’. (a) What is the probability of a steel rod from inventory fitting the bearing? (b) What is the probability of a steel rod from inventory not fitting the bearing?
