Answer:
Z = x - µ / ∂
 = 24.2 – 24.6 / 0.07
  =-0.4/ 0.07
 = -5.71
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution:
Mean = µ = 24.4mm
Standard deviation = ∂= 0.07 mm
(a) Diameter less than 24.3 mm
P(x < 24.3)
The formula for normalized z value:
Z = x - µ / ∂
 = 24.3 - 24.4 / 0.07
 = - 0.1 / 0.07
 = -1.4286
P(z  < -1.428) = 1 – p ( z > -1.428)
            = 1 – p( z < 1.42)
             =1 – 0.4233
             = 0.5767
(b) Diameter greater than 24.6 mm
P( x > 24.6)
The formula for normalized z value:
Z = x - µ / ∂
 = 24.3 – 24.6 / 0.07
  =-0.3 / 0.07
  = - 4.285
P( z > -4.285) = 1 – p(z < -4.285)
            = 1 – p ( z > 4.285)
            =
(c) Diameter between 24.2 and 24.5 mm.
P(x > 24.5)
Z = x - µ / ∂
 = 24.5 – 24.6 / 0.07
  =-0.1/ 0.07
  = -1.4286
P(z  < -1.428) = 1 – p ( z > -1.428)
            = 1 – p( z < 1.42)
             =1 – 0.4233
             = 0.5767
P(x < 24.2)
Z = x - µ / ∂
 = 24.2 – 24.6 / 0.07
  =-0.4/ 0.07
  = -5.71
