2. What is the probability of a stock-out during lead time
for the injection molding department of a company that
uses 40 pounds of a powder a day? Reorder point is 240
pounds. Lead time averages five days. It is normally
distributed and has a standard deviation of two days.
(Points : 30)
Solution
Here, we want to know the probability that the test score
falls between 90 and 110. The \"trick\" to solving this
problem is to realize the following:
P( 90 < X < 110 ) = P( X < 110 ) - P( X < 90 )
We use the Normal Distribution Calculator to compute both
probabilities on the right side of the above equation.
We use these findings to compute our final answer as
follows:
P( 90 < X < 110 ) = P( X < 110 ) - P( X < 90 )
P( 90 < X < 110 ) = 0.84 - 0.16
P( 90 < X < 110 ) = 0.68
Thus, about 68% of the test scores will fall between 90 and
110.
