A certain mechanical component is to be manufactured with a diameter of 3 centime- ters. The manufacturing process produces components whose diameters are normally distributed with mean value µ = 3 and standard deviation is 0.02 cm. (a) What percentage of components will have a diameter greater than 3.045 cm? (b) What percentage of components with have a diameter less than 2.95 cm? (c) If the manufacturer discards any component with a diameter that differs from 3 cm by more than 0.03 cm (in either direction), then what percentage of components will be discarded?
