NORMAL DISTRIBUTION

Problem : 1

The distribution of mass of a certain type of garment is known to be

approximately normal standard deviation of 6gms. It is required that not more than
1% of garment produce should have less than 213g. What is average mass of
garment? Assume the garments are made with this average mass what proposition
of garment will have mass between 218grams and 233grams.
Solution:
Given data :-
S.D. = σ =6 gms

X=?
X = 213
Z = 1%
Z = 0.01
Table value of z = -2.32
X–X
Z =

-2.32 (60 =2 13 – X

X = 213 + 2.32 (6)

X = 227 grams

= 0.43332 x 100
= 43.32%

Z=1
Table value of Z2 = 0.3413
= 0.3413 x 100
 = 34.13%

Z = Z1 + Z 2

= 43.32% + 34.13%
= 77.45%

Result
The preparation of garments in between 218 grams and 233 gram is 77.45%
Problem : 2
A mass of 150gms and hung in the form 250 pieces of certain yarn, 12
pieces broken a load of 200g was then hung form previous unbroken pieces and
further 213 pieces broken. Assuming yarn strength is distribution normal estimate
the mean and standard deviation of yarn strength.

Solution:-
Given data :
Population = 250
A mass of 150 grams = 250 – 12 = 238
A mass of 200 grams = 238 – 213 = 25

A mass of 150 grams

Z = 250
= 0.048

Table value of Z = - 1.66

-1.66σ = 150 – X

X – 1.66σ = 150 --- (1)

Table value of Z = 1.29

Z =

200– X
-1.29 =
σ

-1.29 σ = 200 – X

X – 1.29σ = 200 --- (2)

Sub (1) and (2)

1) X - 1.66 σ = 150
2) X (-) X - 1.29 σ =- 200
- 2.95 σ = - 50
50
σ= =16.949
2.95

σ = 17
Sub σ in equation of (1)

X - 1.66 (17) = 150

X = 28.22 + 150

X = 178.22

Result

Mean = X = 178.22 grams

S.D. = σ = 17 grams
3. The weekly orders for certain garments have normal distribution with the
mean of 820 dozens and standard deviation of 50 dozens (with the C.V.% of
6.09% and variance of 2500)
σ

Formula = C.V.% = X 100

2-
820 97%

Variance =σ 2
 At the start of each week a no of garments are placed is a store to meet the
week orders. How many dozens should be in the store at the start of the week in
order to be 97% certain of being able to meet the weekly orders.
Given Data:
X or  = 820 dozens
S.D. (or) = 50 dozens
X–X
Z =
σ

X - 820
-1.89 =
σ

-1.89 (50) = X - 820

1.89 (50) + 820 = X

X = 915 dozens

Result :

The certain type of garment 815 dozens store to meet the weekly orders.

4) Problem : 4
 In matching a coloured pattern during dyeing, a colour difference of zoo
would, of courter, be the ideal. However, for a particular dying it has been agreed
between the dyer and his customer that colour difference of up 5 colour –
difference untis will be aroetable i.e. the measured colour difference must be with
in range ± 5 units, where a – sign has been used to indicate that a dyed a fabric is
lighter than standard and a + sing indicates that it is darker. If a dyeing is too light
the fabric has to be reprocessed at an extra cost of 25% of the basic dyeing cost, It
if is too dark, the fabric must be stripped and redyed at an additional cost of 50%
past experience has indicated that repeat batches of this dyeing produce colour
difference that have a normal distribution with standard deviation of 4 units. What
colour difference show the dyer aim at in order to minimize the average cost at
dyeing?

Given data :
µ = ?
 = 4
Let as assume
Basic cost of dyeing = c
Basic cost of light dyeing = 1.25c
Basic cost of darker dyeing = 1.50c
Average cost of dye = c

Solution

C = [ 1.25 c2] + [ 1.50 c1] + c [1 – 1 – 2]

 C = 1.25 c2 + 1.50 c1 - c1 – c2 + c
C = [1.25 c2 - c2 + 1.50 c1 - c1 +1]
C = c [ 1 + 0.501 + 0.025 2]
C/c = 1 + 0.50 1 + 0.50 2
