b) Spacers are typically used in groups of four and tolerances require the total length of the 4 spacers to be between 155 mm and 165 mm. This means that the mean length of spacers in a pack has to be between 38.75 mm and 41.25 mm. The quality control officer for the company is looking at the likelihood of a pack of spacers being outside these tolerances. His interest shifts to the mean length of spacers in a sample of 4, which will be denoted X . i) State the distribution of the mean of a sample of 4 randomly selected spacers (that is, X ) and give the value(s) of its parameter(s). ii) Determine the probability that a randomly selected pack of spacers has a mean length that is inside the range 38.75 mm to 41.25 mm.
