Answer:
The percentage of the beams will be rejected is 1.24%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given information:
Mean, μ = 8 ft
standard deviation, σ = 4 inches
Quality requirements demand a beam to be rejected if the length is more than 10 inches
P = P (- 10/4< z < 10/4)
= P (-2.5 < z < 2.5)
= P (z < 2.5) - P(z< -2.5)
= 0.012419
The percentage of the beams will be rejected is 1.24%
