Answer #1

Solution :

P(x > 0.5) = 1 - P(x < 0.5)

= 1 - P[(x - ) / < (0.5 - 1.5) / 0.4)

= 1 - P(z < -2.5)

= 1 - 0.0062

= 0.9938

Probability = 0.9938

16.

P(2 < x < 2.5) = P[(2 - 1.5)/ 0.4) < (x - ) /  < (2.5 - 1.5) / 0.4) ]

= P(1.25 < z < 2.5)

= P(z < 2.5) - P(z < 1.25)

= 0.9938 - 0.8944

= 0.0994

Probability = 0.0994
