Question

Suppose the Internal Revenue Service reported that the mean tax refund for the year 2022 was 
$3401. Assume the standard deviation is $82.5 and that the amounts refunded follow a normal 
probability distribution. Solve the following three parts? (For the answer to question 14, 15, and 16, 
start with making a bell curve. Identify on the bell curve where is mean, X, and area(s) to be determined.
 14.What percent of the 
refunds are more than 
$3,500?
 15.What percent of the 
refunds are more than 
$3500 but less than $3579?
 16.What percent of the 
refunds are more than $3325 
but less than $3579?
 WNAE, an all-news AM station, finds that the distribution of the lengths of time listeners are 
tuned to the station follows the normal distribution. The mean of the distribution is 15.0 
minutes and the standard deviation is 3.5 minutes. What is the probability that a particular 
listener will tune in for:
 17. More than 20 minutes?
 18. 20 minutes or less?
 19. Between 10 and 12 
minutes?
 20. Between 15 and 20 
minutes? (this part is not
