The article “Monte Carlo Simulation—Tool for Better Understanding of LRFD” (J. of Structural Engr., 1993: 1586–1599) suggests that yield strength (ksi) for A36 grade steel is normally distributed with ? = 43 and ? = 4.5.   a. What is the probability that yield strength is greater than 58?   b. What yield strength value separates the strongest 75% from the others?   c. what is the probability that the thread length of a randomly selected bolt is Within 1.5 SDs of its mean value?

The article “Monte Carlo Simulation—Tool for Better Understanding of LRFD” (J. of Structural Engr., 1993: 1586–1599) suggests that yield strength (ksi) for A36 grade steel is normally distributed with ? = 43 and ? = 4.5.

 

a. What is the probability that yield strength is greater than 58?

 

b. What yield strength value separates the strongest 75% from the others?

 

c. what is the probability that the thread length of a randomly selected bolt is Within 1.5 SDs of its mean value?
