Reference no: EM13100258

Jim Sears manufactures farm equipment. His work requires the use of steel bars which must have a mean length of at least 50 inches. The bars can be purchased from a supplier in Kansas City whose bars average only 47 inches with a standard deviation of 12 inches, or from a supplier in Dallas whose bars average 49 inches with a standard deviation of 3.6 inches.

If Sears is to buy 81 bars from Kansas City, what is the probability they will have a mean of at least 50 inches? (Show calculations)
