The amount of warpage in a type of wafer used in the manufacture of integrated circuits has mean 1.3 mm and standard deviation 0.1 mm. A random sample of 200 wafers is drawn. What is the probability that the sample mean warpage exceeds 1.305 mm?

Answer:

0.2389

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of warpage in a type of wafer used in the manufacture of integrated circuits has mean 1.3 mm and standard deviation 0.1 mm.

[tex]\mu=1.3mm\\\sigma=0.1mm[/tex]

A random sample of 200 wafers is drawn

we are supposed to find What is the probability that the sample mean warpage exceeds 1.305 mm

We will use central limit theorem

According to central limit theorem:

[tex]\sigma^2_{\bar{x}}=\frac{\sigma^2}{n}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma^2_{\bar{x}}=\frac{0.1^2}{200}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_{\bar{x}=\sqrt{\frac{0.1^2}{200}}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_{\bar{x}=\sqrt{0.00005}[/tex]

Now we are supposed to find  What is the probability that the sample mean warpage exceeds 1.305 mm i.e.P(x>1.305)

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]z=\frac{1.305-1.3}{\sqrt{0.00005}}[/tex]

[tex]z=0.71[/tex]

Refer the z table

P(z<0.71)=0.7611

[tex]P(\bar{x}>1.305)=1-P(z<0.71) =1-0.7611=0.2389[/tex]

Hence the probability that the sample mean warpage exceeds 1.305 mm is 0.2389
