Hi guys, i was given the following problem:

The mean diameter of a batch of bolts is 9.711mm and the standard deviation of the batch is 0.126mm

The tolerance for this batch of components is 9.73mm to 9.97mm.
In a batch of 2000 bolts, determine the following:

a) The percentage of bolts rejected assuming the bolts are normally distributed.

My answer:

(9.97 - 9.73) / 0.126 = 1.90

1.90 Corresponds to: 0.9713

1 - 0.9713 = 0.0287

(Little less than 3% are rejected)

0.0287 x 2000 = 57.4

= 57 rejected out of 2000

Can anybody tell me if I'm right?

No, your first step is not right. But I'm not sure you have written down the problem correctly. If the mean is 9.711, you would expect the tolerated values to go from somewhere below 9.711 to somewhere above it, not from 9.73 to 9.97. Did you mean that the mean is 9.811?
 

Thread 'Prove that the integral is equal to ##\pi^2/8##'

Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...

Thread 'Finding the nth roots of a complex number'

There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
