3. A factory produces resistors with a resistance of 1000 ohm. Allowable tolerance is only 10%, meaning
resistor that passes Quality Control are resistors with resistance between 900 ohms and 1100 ohms.
Suppose a random variable X represents the output of the resistor and is known to have distribution
X ⇒ NOR(1000, 2500), specify:
a. The Probability Density Function of X
b. Mean, Standard Deviation and Variance of X
c. fX (900), P(X ≤ 850), P(X ≥ 1254), and P(975 < x < 1378)
d. If a resistor is taken at random, determine the resistor did not pass the quality control
