Textbook Question
Chapter 10.2, Problem 1P
Use the RAND function and the Copy command to generate 100 random numbers.
- a. What fraction of the random numbers are smaller than 0.5?
- b. What fraction of the time is a random number less than 0.5 followed by a random number greater than 0.5?
- c. What fraction of the random numbers are larger than 0.8?
- d. Freeze these random numbers. However, instead of pasting them over the original random numbers, paste them onto a new range. Then press the F9 recalculate key. The original random numbers should change, but the pasted copy should remain the same.

- Round all intermediate numbers to four decimal places. The final answer can be rounded to the nearest dollar. Consider a normally distributed process that cuts wood with a "process center" of 32 inches and a standard deviation of .20 inches. The lower specification limit is 32.42 inches. A piece of wood that is cut too short must be scrapped at a cost of $15.60. A piece of wood that is cut too long must be re-cut by hand at a cost of $4.00.
