    This document contains 5 questions about normal distributions and probabilities related to normally distributed random variables. The questions involve calculating standard deviations based on given probabilities, finding probabilities of values falling within given ranges, and determining probabilities of outcomes given means and standard deviations.

    1. If in a certain normal distribution of X, the probability is 0.5 that X is less than 500 and
    0.0227 that X is greater than 650. What is the standard deviation of X?

    2. What is the probability that a normal random variable with mean 6 and standard deviation
    3 will fall between 5.7 and 7.5?

    3. A popular soft drink is sold in 2-liter (2,000-milliliter) bottles. Because of variation in the
    filling process, bottles have a mean of 2,000 milliliters and a standard deviation of 20,
    normally distributed.
    a. If the process fills the bottle by more than 50 milliliters, the overflow will cause a
    machine malfunction. What is the probability of this occurring?
    b. What is the probability of underfilling the bottles by at least 30 milliliters?

    4. A supplier contract calls for a key dimension of a part to be between 1.96 and 2.04
    centimeters. The supplier has determined that the standard deviation of its process, which
    is normally distributed, is 0.04 centimeter.
    a. If the actual mean of the process is 1.98, what fraction of parts will meet
    specifications?
    b. If the mean is adjusted to 2.00, what fraction of parts will meet specifications?
    c. How small must the standard deviation be to ensure that no more than 2% of parts
    are nonconforming, assuming the mean is 2.00?

    5. At EABL the amounts which go into bottles of tusker are supposed to be normally
    distributed with mean 36 oz. and standard deviation 0:1 oz. Once every 30 minutes a
    bottle is selected from the production line, and its contents are noted precisely. If the
    amount of the bottle goes below 35:8 oz. Or above 36:2 oz., then the bottle will be
    declared out of control.
    a. If the process is in control, meaning the mean is = 36 oz. and SD = 0:1 oz., find the
    probability that a bottle will be declared out of control.
    b. In the situation of (a), find the probability that the number of bottles found out of control
    in an eight-hour day (16 inspections) will be zero.
    c. In the situation of (a), find the probability that the number of bottles found out of control
    in an eight-hour day (16 inspections) will be exactly one.
    d. If the process shifts so that the mean = 37 oz and SD = 0:4 oz, find the probability that a
    bottle will be declared out of control.
