The diameters of bolts produced by certain machine are normmaly disturbuted with a mean of 0.30 inches, and a standard deviation of 0.01 inches. What percentage of bolts will have a diameter greater than 0.32?
------
Your measuring stick is the z-distribution.
-----
z(0.32) = (0.32-30)/0.01 = 0.02/0.01 = 2
------
P(x > 0.32) = P(z > 2) = normalcdf(2,100) = 0.0228
