𝑛 𝑛
linkage 𝑁 (∑ 𝜇𝑖 , ∑ 𝜎𝑖2 )
𝑖=1 𝑖=1
Shaft 1 𝑁(60, 0.09)
Shaft 2 𝑁(40, 0.05)
Shaft 3 𝑁(50, 0.11)
[Hint: If {𝑋𝑖 } are 𝑛 independent normal random variables, and if {𝑋𝑖 } has mean 𝜇𝑖
and variance 𝜎𝑖2 , then the sum
𝑌 = 𝑋1 + 𝑋1 +. . . +𝑋1
Solution:
And because the 𝑋𝑖 is normally distributed we can solve the problem as the following:
𝑛 𝑛
𝑌~𝑁 (∑ 𝜇𝑖 , ∑ 𝜎𝑖2 )
𝑖=1 𝑖=1
From above table:
150.2 − 150
P(Y > 150.2) = 1 − Φ [ ] = .3446
0.5
= 1 − Φ[0.4] = 0.3446
= 1 − 0.6554 = 0.3446
(c) The tolerance limits for the assembly are (149.83, 150.21). What proportion of
assemblies are within the tolerance limits?
