If bolt thread length is normally distributed, what is the probability that the thread length of a randomly selected bolt is
(a) Within 1.3 SDs of its mean value?
(b) Farther than 1.5 SDs from its mean value?
(c) Between 1 and 2 SDs from its mean value?
You may need to use the appropriate table in the Appendix of Tables to answer this question.
Refer Z-table to find the probability or use excel formula "=NORM.S.DIST(1.3, TRUE)" & "=NORM.S.DIST(-1.3, TRUE)" to find the probability.

Refer Z-table to find the probability or use excel formula "=NORM.S.DIST(-1.5, TRUE)" & "=NORM.S.DIST(1.5, TRUE)" to find the probability.

Refer Z-table to find the probability or use excel formula "=NORM.S.DIST(2, TRUE)" & "=NORM.S.DIST(1, TRUE)" to find the probability.
