THIS IS COMPLETE QUESTION

computer manufacturing company, the actual size of computer chips is normally distributed with a mean of 1 centimeter and a standard deviation of 0.2 centimeters. A random sample of 16 computer chip is taken. What is the probability that the sample mean will be below 0.95?

Answer:

the probability is P=0.045

Explanation:

We were given mean of computer chips as 1 centimeter and a standard deviation of 0.1 centimeter

We were given

σ=0.1

n=16

We calculate:

Z=(0.95-1)/0.1 √16

Z=-0.125

Using the standard z- tables. to get the probability we have

P(X<0.95)=P(z<-0.115)=0.045

Therefore, probability is P=0.045
