A printed circuit board manufacturer produces 1000
boards per day having a mean impedance value of
100 ohms. QA tests indicate 80% of the boards
produced have an impedance between 95 and 105
ohms. If the minimum acceptable impedance range
is from 90 ohms to 110 ohms, how many boards are
rejected per day? Assume a normal distribution of
impedances.
