a. What is the probability that X> 95?
The probability that X > 95 is 0.6915
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
b. What is the probability that X < 80?
The probability that X< 80 is 0.0228
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
c. What is the probability that X < 70 or X> 110?
The probability that X<70 or X> 110 is 0.1601

Expert Solution
Step 1

d.

Let x1 and x2 are the two values.

The two X values of 80% area is,

Px1<x<x2=0.80Px1-10010<x-μσ<x2-10010=0.80Px1-10010<z<x2-10010=0.80

For two values;

1-α=0.80α=0.20α2=0.101-α2=0.90

The probability 0.90 would be converted to z score can be obtained using the excel formula “=NORM.S.INV(0.90)”. The z score value is 1.28155.
