Answer

a. From the given normal distribution, μ=2850 and σ= 420. $P(x \lt 1200)$ = $P(z \lt \frac{1200-2850}{420})$ = $P(z \lt -3.9286)$ =.0 approximately. b. $P(2300 \lt x \lt 3140)$ = $P(\frac{2300-2850}{420} \lt z \lt \frac{3140-2850}{420})$ = $P(-1.3095 \lt z \lt 0.6905)$ =0.7551 – 0.0952 =.6599 approximately. c. $P(x \gt 3600)$ = $P(z \gt \frac{3600-2850}{420} )$ = $P( z \gt 0.3571)$ =0.9629 d. $P(3200 \lt x \lt 3700)$ = $P(\frac{3200-2850}{420} \lt z \lt \frac{3700-2850}{420})$ = $P(0.8333 \lt z \lt 2.0238)$ = 0. 9785 - 0.7977 =0.1808
