Problem 212SE
The diameter of the dot produced by a printer is normally distributed with a mean diameter of 0.002 inch.
(a) Suppose that the specifications require the dot diameter to be between 0.0014 and 0.0026 inch. If the probability that a dot meets specifications is to be 0.9973, what standard deviation is needed?
(b) Assume that the standard deviation of the size of a dot is 0.0004 inch. If the probability that a dot meets specifications is to be 0.9973, what specifications are needed? Assume that the specifications are to be chosen symmetrically around the mean of 0.002.
