Probability question

[Guest]

I need help with this one...

It's found that the number of defective parts produced per day by a certain production line are normally distributed with a mean f 4 and a standard deviation of 2.

Find the probability that

a) More than 3 defective parts are produced on a given day.
b) Between 2 and 5 defective parts are produced on a given day?

thanks

$\displaystyle z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

$\displaystyle z=\frac{3-4}{2}=\frac{-1}{2}$

$\displaystyle P(z>\frac{-1}{2})$.

Look them up in the Standard Normal Distribution table.

Subtract from 1.

Do the same for part b.

$\displaystyle z=\frac{2-4}{2}$ and $\displaystyle z=\frac{5-4}{2}$

$\displaystyle P(-1<z<1/2)$

Subtract the 2 results.
