    Q4. The mean inside diameter of a sample of 200 washers by a machine is 0.502cm
    and the standard deviation is 0.005cm. The purpose for which these washers are
    intended allows a minimum tolerance in the diameter of 0.496 to 0.508cm,
    otherwise the washers are considered defective. Determine the percentage of
    defective washers produced by the machine. Assume the diameter are normally
    distributed.

    is 0.752+0.004 cm.
