Question:

Suppose that the diameters of the bolts in a large box follow a normal distribution with a mean of 2 centimeters and a standard deviation of 0.03 centimeter. Also, suppose that the diameters of the holes in the nuts in another large box follow the normal distribution with a mean of 2.02 centimeters and a standard deviation of 0.04 centimeter. A bolt and a nut will fit together if the diameter of the hole in the nut is greater than the diameter of the bolt and the difference between these diameters is not greater than 0.05 centimeter.
