Continuous random variables — practice question

A factory manufactures flower pots. The diameters of their bases are normally distributed with mean $14\text{ cm}$ and standard deviation $0.52\text{ cm}$.
(main)[5]

Determine the probability that exactly $8$ out of $10$ randomly selected flower pots have base diameters between $13.6\text{ cm}$ and $14.8\text{ cm}$.

Worked solution & mark scheme

This 5-mark question has a full step-by-step worked solution and mark scheme. One marking point: The interval $P(13.6 < X < 14.8)$ is correctly standardised to $P\left(\frac{13.6-14}{0.52} < Z < \frac{14.8-14}{0.52}\right)$
