Answer

0.0668 of ball bearings have a diameter greater than 5.03mm.

Work Step by Step

$\mu$ = 5, $\sigma$ = 0.02 Want to find $P( x > 5.03 )$ i) Convert 5.03 to a z-score: z = $\frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}$ z = $\frac{5.03 - 5}{0.02}$ z= 1.5 ii) $P(x > 5.03)$ $= P(z > 1.5)$ $= 1 - P( z < 1.5)$ $= 1-0.9332$ $= 0.0668$
