(Round to three decimal places as needed.)

Explanation / Answer

mean = =13

standard deviation = =2

a)

P(x 14.5) = 1-P(X<14.5)

z value for 14.5 is (14.5-13)/2 = 1.5/2 = 0.75 ,p value = 0.773

P(X<14.5) =0.773

P(x 14.5) = 1- 0.773= 0.227

b)P(x<= 9.5)

z value for 9.5 is (9.5-13)/2 = -3.5/2 = -1.75 ,p value = 0.040059

P(x<= 9.5) = 0.040059

c)

z value for 14.14 is (14.14-13)/2 = 1.14/2 = 0.57 ,p value = 0.715661

z value for 18.12 is (18.12-13)/2 = 5.12/2 = 2.56 ,p value = 0.987965

P(14.12<=x<= 18.12) =0.987965-0.715661 =0.2723

d)

z value for 8.28 is (8.28-13)/2 = -3.72/2 = -0.186,p value = 0.426222

z value for 16.48 is (16.48-13)/2 = 3.48/2 =0.174 ,p value = 0.569067

P(8.28<=x<= 16.48) =0.569-0.426 =0.143
