Question 1

A factory claims 90% of its products meet quality standards. If the defects follow a normal distribution with μ=5 and σ=1.2, what’s the probability of having more than 8 defects?

💡 Hint: Normalize the data first and consult the Z-table!

Question 2

Given a normal distribution with μ = 300 and σ = 50. Find the range of values where there's a 95% probability that a value will fall.

💡 Hint: Understand two-tailed Z-scores in relation to the mean.
