the fracture strength of tempered glass averages 13.5 (measured in thousands of pounds per square inch) and has standard deviation 2. (a) what is the probability that the average fracture strength of 100 randomly selected pieces of this glass exceeds 13.8? (round your answer to four decimal places.)

Sagot :

The probability that the average fracture strength of 100 randomly selected pieces will be equal to 33.19%.

In order to find the probability first we find the Z score. The Z score related the standard deviation and the mean of any data as

Z = X - μ/σ where Z is the Z score, X is the random variable, μ is the mean and σ is the standard deviation.

The standard deviation of the randomly selected 100 variables will be given as

s = σ/√n where n = 100 and σ = 2

s = 2/√100

s = 0.2

Now, the Z score for this data will be

Z = X - μ/s where X = 13.8, and μ = 13.5 and the value of s = 0.2

Z = 13.8 - 13.5/0.2

Z = 1.5

Now, for Z = 1.5 the p value will be 0.66807

The probability will be P = 1 - 0.66807 = 0.33193 that is 33.19%
