For a specific type of machine part being produced, the diameter is normally distributed, with a mean of 15.000 cm and a standard deviation of 0.030 cm. Machine parts with a diameter more than 2 standard deviations away from the mean are rejected.
\n" ); document.write( "If 15,000 machine parts are manufactured, how many of these will be rejected?
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Find the area under the normal curve that is greater
\n" ); document.write( "than 2 standard deviations from the mean
\n" ); document.write( "normalcdf(2,100) = 0.0228
\n" ); document.write( "Double that because there is area to the right and to the left.
\n" ); document.write( "2*0.0228 = 0.0456
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Ans: 0.0456*15000 = 683 when rounded up
