Chapter 12 - Statistics - 12.5 Problem Solving with the Normal Distribution - Exercise Set 12.5 - Page 821: 43

Answer

$z=3$ and $z=0.25$

Work Step by Step

Using the table, the percentage of data items in a normal distribution that lie between the values can be obtained by subtracting the percentile that lies under the lower z-value from the percentile that lies under the higher z-value. Hence here if $z=3$and $z=0.25$, then between them : $99.87\%-59.87\%=40\%$
