### Problem Statement

Assume that the random variable \( X \) is normally distributed, with a mean \( \mu = 62 \) and standard deviation \( \sigma = 10 \). Compute the probability \( P(55 < X < 70) \). Be sure to draw a normal curve with the area corresponding to the probability shaded.

### Question

Draw a normal curve with the area corresponding to the probability shaded. Choose the correct graph below:

- **Option A**: Graph showing a normal distribution with the area between \( X = 55 \) and \( X = 70 \) shaded, centered around the mean.
- **Option B**: Graph showing a normal distribution, shaded area extending slightly beyond \( X = 70 \).
- **Option C**: Graph showing an incorrect range with the area shaded symmetrically around the mean.
- **Option D**: Graph showing a normal distribution with the area between \( X = 55 \) and \( X = 70 \), but with less shading than option A.

When interpreting each graph, ensure to check if the shaded part accurately represents the probability \( P(55 < X < 70) \).
