The percentage of data below a certain threshold in a normal distribution

209 Views Asked by At

The size of stones used in a concrete blend are normally distributed, with a mean diameter of 19.5mm and a standard Deviation of 1.8mm

a) what is the probability that a stone taken at random will have a diameter greater than 18mm

b) the smallest 15.15% of the stones are to be removed by passing them over a sieve. What size should the holes in the sieve be?

(ie: below what size will the stones be rejected)

I'm at a loss, please help.
