Answer 1

Answer)

We need to use standard normal z table to solve this problem

A)

From z table, P(z<1.11) = 0.8665

B)

From z table, P(z>-1.24) = 0.8925

C)

P(-1.78<z<-1.14) = p(z<-1.14) - p(z<-1.78)

P(z<-1.14) = 0.1271

P(z<-1.78) = 0.0375

So answer is 0.1271 - 0.0375 = 0.0896

D)

Answer)

As the data is normally distributed we can use standard normal z table to estimate the answers

Z = (x-mean)/s.d

Given mean = 40

S.d = 16

P(50 < x< 70)

P(x<70)

Z = (70-40)/16 = 1.88

From z table, P(z<1.88) = 0.9699

P(x<50)

Z = (50 - 40)/16 = 0.63

From z table, P(z<0.63) = 0.7357

Required probability is 0.9699 - 0.7357 = 0.2342

E)

P(x>90)

Z = (90 - 97)/12 = -0.58

From.z.table, P(z>-0.58) = 0.7190
