Example 4
A machine produces ball bearings with the weights of each
normally distributed with a mean of 2700 mg and a standard
deviation of 12 mg. If 10% of the ball bearings are rejected as
being overweight for the mechanism they are to t into, nd
the maximum acceptable weight to the nearest mg.
Require the Prob(X > k) = 10% = 0.1, Area = 0.1,

Binomial Distribution calculations [in STAT]
The Binomial Distribution(B.D.) has 2 parameters, the number of trials (n) and the probability of success (p).
