Math Problem Statement
A manufacturer of bolts has a quality-control policy that requires it to destroy any bolts that are more than 44 standard deviations from the mean. The quality-control engineer knows that the bolts coming off the assembly line have mean length of 1212 cm with a standard deviation of 0.050.05 cm. For what lengths will a bolt be destroyed?
