1.Easy
200 mmσ = ?X + Y

X and Y are independent normal variables for the length of part A plus part B in an assembly: X has mean 120 mm and standard deviation 0.3 mm, Y has mean 80 mm and standard deviation 0.4 mm. Find the standard deviation σ of X + Y.

μX = 120 mm, σX = 0.3 mmμY = 80 mm, σY = 0.4 mm
σ = mm
2.Easy
40 mmσ = ?X − Y

X is normal with mean 120 mm and standard deviation 0.3 mm; Y is independent and normal with mean 80 mm and standard deviation 0.4 mm. Find the standard deviation σ of the difference X − Y.

μX = 120 mm, σX = 0.3 mmμY = 80 mm, σY = 0.4 mm
σ = mm

172.4190.95P = ?

The heights of adult men are normally distributed with mean 178 cm and standard deviation 7 cm. What fraction lies between 172.4 and 190.95 cm? Give P as a decimal.

μ = 178σ = 7x1 = 172.4x2 = 190.95
P =
4.Medium
105 s99.9 sX + Y?

X is normal with mean 60 s and standard deviation 5 s; Y is independent and normal with mean 45 s and standard deviation 4 s. Find the probability P that X + Y is more than 99.9 s. Round z to two decimals.

μX = 60, σX = 5μY = 45, σY = 4X + Y > 99.9 s
P =

0.02 mm0D − d?

Hole diameters D are normal with mean 25.02 mm and standard deviation 0.02 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.
