Past experience has indicated that the actual diameter of theball bearings is approximately normally distributed with a mean of0.753 inches and a standard deviation of 0.004 inches.

What is the probability that a ball bearing is:

b. between the lower specification limit and the target?

c. above the upper specification limit?

d. below the lower specification limit?

e. Of all the ball bearings, 93% of the diameters are greaterthan what value?
