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.
