Answer

Answer: 0.44

Work Step by Step

To find P( 72 < $x$ < 82): 1) Convert $x$ = 72 to a z score: z = $\frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}$ z = $\frac{72 - 74}{8}$ z = -0.25 2) Convert $x$ = 82 to a z score: z = $\frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}$ z = $\frac{82 - 74}{8}$ z = 1 3) Find P( -0.25 < z < 1) = P( z < 1) - P( z < -0.25) =0.8413 - 0.4013 =0.44 Therefore, P(72 < $x$ < 82) = 0.44
