1.Easy
750 gσ = ?X + Y

X and Y are independent normal variables for the mass of a filled jar: jar plus contents: X has mean 250 g and standard deviation 4 g, Y has mean 500 g and standard deviation 9 g. Find the standard deviation σ of X + Y.

μX = 250 g, σX = 4 gμY = 500 g, σY = 9 g
σ = g
2.Easy
32 minσ = ?X + Y

X and Y are independent normal variables for the time for two consecutive process steps: X has mean 12 min and standard deviation 1.5 min, Y has mean 20 min and standard deviation 2 min. Find the standard deviation σ of X + Y.

μX = 12 min, σX = 1.5 minμY = 20 min, σY = 2 min
σ = min

−3−2−10123zshaded area to the right of z = 0.8461

Drag z so that the shaded area under the standard normal curve, to the right of z, is 0.8461. Find z to two decimals.

A = 0.8461
z =
4.Medium
245254P = ?

The bag weights are normally distributed with mean 250 g and standard deviation 5 g. What fraction lies between 245 and 254 g? Give P as a decimal.

μ = 250σ = 5x1 = 245x2 = 254
P =

The bag weights are normally distributed with mean 250 g and standard deviation 5 g. Drag the cut-off so the shaded bottom 25% is to the left of it. Find the cut-off x.

μ = 250 gσ = 5 g25%
x = g

0.05 mm0D − d?

Hole diameters D are normal with mean 25.05 mm and standard deviation 0.015 mm. Shaft diameters d are independent and normal with mean 25 mm and standard deviation 0.015 mm. A randomly chosen shaft fits when D − d > 0. Find the probability P that it fits. Round z to two decimals.
