Question

At 6 months of physical activity, mood scores rated on a scale from -5 to 5 after a walking exercise were 3.3 plus or minus 1.2 (mean plus or minus standard error), and at 12 months, mood scores were 3.3 plus or minus 1.3. Assuming these data are normally distributed, use the steps to conduct a z transformation to determine the following probabilities:
