ANSWER:

Answer:

Step 1 of 3:

(a)

In this question, we are asked to find the probability that the sample mean warpage exceeds 1.305.

The amount of warpage in a type of wafer used in the manufacture of integrated circuits has mean 1.3and standard deviation 0.1.

A random sample of 200 wafers is drawn.

 Let represent amount of warpage.

We need to find

Now the sample size is , which is a large sample.

Hence  can be approximately normal distributed.

CLT specifies that , variance  and standard deviation

Hence our sample mean and standard deviation is,

 = 7.07

Therefore the  score of  1.305 is

=

=

 =

From the z table, the area to the left of   is 0.7794

 = 1 - the area to the left of

 = 1 - 0.7794

 = 0.2206

Hence the probability that the sample mean warpage exceeds 1.305is 0.2206.
