Question:
Two firms, Goodline and Megadelay, produce delay lines for use in communications. The delay time for a delay line is measured in nanoseconds (ns).
(a) The delay times for the output of Goodline may be modelled by a normal distribution with mean 283 ns and standard deviation 8 ns. What is the probability that the delay time of one line selected at random from Goodline's output is between 275 ns and 286 ns?
(b) It is found that, in the output of Megadelay, 10% of the delay times are less than 274.6 ns and 7.5% are more than 288.2 ns. Again assuming a normal distribution, calculate the mean and standard deviation of the delay times for Megadelay. Give your answers correct to three significant figures. (C)
