Continuous Probability DistributionsNow, let’s say that QC decides to sample one more tablet. This time, it selects a tablet from Batch Y4. Based on previous knowledge, you know that Batch Y4 has a mean paracetamol level of 505 mg, and its standard deviation is 25 mg. This time, QC wants to check both the upper limit and the lower limit for the paracetamol level.What is the probability that the tablet selected by QC has a paracetamol level between 450 mg and 550 mg?

Solution

To solve this problem, we need to use the concept of Z-scores in statistics. The Z-score is a measure of how many standard deviations an element is from the mean.

Step 1: Calculate the Z-scores for the lower limit (450 mg) and the upper limit (550 mg).

The formula for the Z-score is:

Z = (X - μ) / σ

where: X is the value we are interested in, μ is the mean, and σ is the standard deviation.

For the lower limit (450 mg):

Z_lower = (450 - 505) / 25 = -2.2

For the upper limit (550 mg):

Z_upper = (550 - 505) / 25 = 1.8

Step 2: Look up these Z-scores in a standard normal distribution table or use a calculator that can calculate the area under the standard normal curve.

The values you get represent the probability that the value is less than the upper limit and more than the lower limit.

For Z_lower = -2.2, the probability is 0.0139 (or 1.39%). For Z_upper = 1.8, the probability is 0.9641 (or 96.41%).

Step 3: To find the probability that the paracetamol level is between 450 mg and 550 mg, subtract the probability of the lower limit from the probability of the upper limit.

P(450 < X < 550) = P(X < 550) - P(X < 450) = 0.9641 - 0.0139 = 0.9502 (or 95.02%).

So, the probability that the tablet selected by QC has a paracetamol level between 450 mg and 550 mg is approximately 95.02%.

Let’s say you work as an analyst at a pharma company which manufactures an antipyretic drug (tablet form) with paracetamol as the active ingredient. The amount of paracetamol specified by the drug regulatory authorities is 500 mg with a permissible error of 10%. Anything below 450 mg would be a quality issue for your company since the drug will be ineffective, while above 550 mg would be a serious regulatory issue.Question 2/3MandatoryContinuous Probability DistributionsNow, the company’s QC (Quality Control) department comes and selects a tablet at random from Batch Z2.
