Answer:
P=0.0028
Explanation:
For x:
Mean = 1 MPa
Standard deviation = 0.3 MPa
For y:
Mean = 2 MPa
Standard deviation = 0.2 MPa
Let failure is denoted by F, then F will also follow normal distribution.
F= y-x
Mean
[tex]\mu _F=\mu_y-\mu_x[/tex]
[tex]\mu _F=2-1[/tex]
[tex]\mu _F=1\ MPa[/tex]
Standard deviation
[tex]\sigma_F=\sqrt{\sigma_x^2+\sigma_y^2}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_F=\sqrt{0.2^2+0.3^2}[/tex]
[tex]\sigma_F=0.36\ MPa[/tex]
The failure probability given as
[tex]P(F<0)=P\left(\dfrac{0-1}{0.36} \right)=P(z<-2.77)[/tex]
Now from chart P=0.0028
