A company produces steel rods. The lengths of the steel rods are normally distributed with a mean of 197.4-cm and a standard deviation of 1.6-cm. For shipment, 13 steel rods are bundled together.

Find the probability that the average length of a randomly selected bundle of steel rods is greater than 198.5-cm.
P(M > 198.5-cm) =

Expert Answer

Step 1

Given data

Mean = 197.4 cm

Standard deviation = 1.6 cm

Sample size n = 13

probability that the average leng...
