Question 1197391: The line width of a tool used for semiconductor manufacturing is assumed to be normally distributed with a mean of 0.5 micrometer and a standard deviation of 0.05 micrometer.
(a) What is the probability that a line width is greater than
0.62 micrometer?
(b) What is the probability that a line width is between 0.47 and 0.63 micrometer?

(c) The line width of 90% of samples is below what value?

Hi  

Normal Distribution: µ = .5 and σ = .05
Using TI or similarly an inexpensive calculator like an Casio fx-115 ES plus
normalcdf(smaller value, larger value, µ, σ).

P(x >.62 ) = normalcdf( .62, 9999, .5, .05) = .0082
P(.47 ≤ x ≤ .63) = normalcdf( .47, .63, .5, .05) = .7211

The line width of 90% of samples is below what value
  z= Invnorm(.90) = 1.28
blue+%28x%29+=+blue%28sigma%29%2Az+%2B+mu+ =  .05(1.28) + .5

A millionth of a meter is called a micron, not a micrometer.
A micrometer is a measuring instrument.
I have bought several micrometers.
