Solution Steps

Step 1: Calculate the Z-score for the individual item

Using the formula $Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$, where $X = 12$, $\mu = 11.3$, and $\sigma = 0.6$, we find that $Z = 1.167$.

Final Answer:

The probability that the variable exceeds 12 is approximately 0.122.

Among 6872 cases of pacemaker malfunctions, 318 were found to be caused by firmware, which is software programmed into the device. If the firmware is tested in 3 different pacemakers from a batch of 6872 and the entire batch is accepted if there are no failures, what is the probability that the firmware in the entire batch will be accepted? Is this procedure likely to result in the entire batch being accepted?
