Normal distribution

Task

A machinery produces screws with an average length of  . The length of the screws is normal distributed with a standard deviation of  . Calculate the percentage of screws which are  
  • shorter than 3.8 in
  • longer than 4.3 in
  • between 3.9 in and 4.1 in
  • shorter than 3.8 in and longer than 4.3 in

Instructions

1.Select the Normal Distribution from the drop-down list.
2.Change the parameter  to 4, since the mean of the screws is 4 in.
3.Change the parameter  to 0.1, since the standard deviation of the screws is 0.1 in.
4.Calculate the probability using the Left Sided button.
5.Calculate the probability using the Right Sided button.
6.Calculate the probability using the Interval button.
7.Calculate the probability using the Two tailed button.
