Question 453762: In the NASCAR racing industry ball bearings are automatically produced on a Kronar BBX machine and are known to be normally distributed. For one of the production lines, the mean diameter is set at 20.00 mm (millimeters). The standard deviation, over a long period of time, was computed to be 0.150 mm. What percent of the ball bearings on this line will have diameters of 20.27 mm or more?

20.27-20.00=0.27
z=0.27/0.150=1.8

----
z(20.27) =(20.27-20.00)/0.15 = 1.8
--------
P(x >= 20.27) = P(z >= 1.8) = 0.0359.. = 3.59%
