Suppose X is normally distributed random varible with u= 15 and o=2. Find each probability.

### Finding Probabilities for a Normally Distributed Random Variable

#### Problem Statement:
Suppose \( x \) is a normally distributed random variable with a mean (\( \mu \)) of 15 and a standard deviation (\( \sigma \)) of 2. Find each of the following probabilities:

a. \( P(x \geq 17.5) \)

b. \( P(x \leq 13.5) \)

c. \( P(16.58 \leq x \leq 20.22) \)

d. \( P(9.72 \leq x \leq 17.76) \)

#### Solution:

a. \( P(x \geq 17.5) \)

\[ P(x \geq 17.5) = \boxed{\ } \ \ (Round to three decimal places as needed.) \]

For detailed analysis and solution of each probability, use the standard normal distribution table or relevant software tools.
