Consider again the company making tires for bikes is concerned about the exact width of their cyclocross tires. The company has a lower specification limit of 22.6 mm and an upper specification limit of 22.8 mm. The standard deviation is 0.16 mm and the mean is 22.7 mm.
a. What is the probability that a tire will be too narrow?
b. What is the probability that a tire will be too wide?
c. What is the probability that a tire will be defective?

A typist makes an error while typing a letter 0.9% of the time.
There are two types of errors. Type A and B
errors occur 30% and 70% of the time, respectively, whenever an
error occurs.
(a) What is the probability of no error in 15 letters?
(b) What is the probability of no type A error in 15 letters?
c) given that exactly one error has occurred in 15 letters, what is
the probability that it is a type A error?
