For a randomly found shard, find the following probabilities. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

a. the thickness is less than 3.0 mm.

Answer:

Follows are the responses to the given question:

Step-by-step explanation:

In point a:

z score for 3:

[tex]= \frac{(3 - 5.3)}{1.1} \\\\ =-2.09[/tex]

So,

P(Less than 3.0 mm):

 [tex]=P(z < -2.09)\\\\ = 0.0183[/tex]

In point b:

z score for 7:

[tex]= \frac{(7 - 5.3)}{1.1} \\\\= 1.55[/tex]

So,

P(Less than 3.0 mm):

[tex]= P(z > 1.55) \\\\= 0.0611[/tex]

In point C:

P(Between 3 and 7):

[tex]= P(-2.09 < z < 1.55)\\\\\ = 0.9206[/tex]
