QUESTION:

Refer to Exercise 16. A competing process produces rings whose diameters (in centimeters) vary according to the probability density function

\(f(x)= \begin{cases}15\left[1-25(x-10.05)^{2}\right] / 4 & \\ & 9.85<x<10.25 \\ 0 & \text { otherwise }\end{cases}\)

                                           

Specifications call for the diameter to be \(10.0 \pm 0.1 \mathrm{~cm}\). Which process is better, this one or the one in Exercise 16? Explain.
