Resistors with a value of 1500 ohms are produced in a factory. There are deviations in the values of these produced resistances and if this deviation is more than 15%, those resistors are not used. Suppose the values of the generated resistors are an X random variable with a Gaussian distribution. Since the average value of these resistors is 1500 ohms and the standard deviation is 100 ohms, what is the probability that a produced resistor will not be used?
