In an industrial process, the diameter of a ball bearing is an important measurement. The buyer sets specifications for the diameter to be 3.0 ± 0.01 cm. The implication is that no part falling outside these specifications will be accepted. It is known that in the process the diameter of a ball bearing has a normal distribution with mean μ = 3.0 and standard deviation σ = 0.005. On average, how many manufactured ball bearings will be scrapped?

Accepted Answer

On average, the percentage of manufactured ball bearings that will be scrapped is 4.56%.What is the manufactured ball bearings about?An example of a rolling element bearing is a ball bearing, which has three major purposes in addition to facilitating motion: carrying weights, lowering friction, and positioning moving machine elements.Note that:x1 = 3-0.01 = 2.99x2 = 3+0.01 = 3.01So, It can be scrapped by:1−P(2.99 < Z <3.01)= 1−P (2.99 −3/ 0.005 < Z < 2.99+30.00/5)=1−P(2.99 − 3/0.005 <  Z <2.99 + 3/0.005)= 1 − P ( −2 < Z <2)=1−(P (Z < 2.0) − (P (Z> − 2.0)) = ( P (Z > 2.0) + P( Z < −2.0)=2 x 0.0228 = 0.0456Therefore, the Answer will be 4.56% of the manufactured ball bearings need to be scrapped.Learn more about ball bearings fromhttps://brainly.com/question/24316492#SPJ1
