Question 12

The concentration of a specific catalyst, C C\,C mg/L, in a chemical reaction follows a normal distribution where C∼N(μ,12.52)C \sim N(\mu, 12.5^2)C∼N(μ,12.52). Observations show that the catalyst concentration exceeds 145.6 mg/L in only 8.85% of trials.

a.

Determine the value of the mean concentration μ\muμ.

[4]
b.

Find the probability that the catalyst concentration in a randomly selected trial lies between the mean and 145.6 mg/L.
