Two parts are assembled as shown in the figure below. Assume that the dimensions x and y are normally distributed with means µx and µy and standard deviations x = 0.4 and oy = 0.3 respectively. The parts are produced on different machines and are assembled at random. (a) If it is desired that the probability of the clearance (i.e., x - y) smaller than 0.09 should be 0.006, (i.e. Pr{(x-y)<0.09} = 0.006) What value of (x-μy) should be specified? (b) Based on the results (x-μy) obtained in (a), calculate the probability that the clearance is greater than 0.

Transcribed Image Text:Two parts are assembled as shown in the figure below. Assume that the dimensions x and
y are normally distributed with means µ¸ and µ¸ and standard deviations σx = 0.4 and
oy = 0.3 respectively. The parts are produced on different machines and are assembled at
random.
(a) If it is desired that the probability of the clearance (i.e., x - y) smaller than 0.09 should be
0.006, (i.e. Pr{(x-y)<0.09} = 0.006) What value of (x − μy) should be specified?

(b) Based on the results (x-µy) obtained in (a), calculate the probability that the
clearance is greater than 0.
