Answer

0.5274

Work Step by Step

Let's find the z-scores for 80 and 100 cm: $z=\frac{X-μ}{σ}=\frac{80-92.5}{13.7}=-0.91$ $z=\frac{X-μ}{σ}=\frac{100-92.5}{13.7}=0.55$ According to Table V, the area to the left of the standard normal curve for a z-score equal to -0.91 is 0.1814. According to Table V, the area to the left of the standard normal curve for a z-score equal to 0.55 is 0.7088. The area of the standard normal curve between the z-scores -0.91 and 0.55 is the difference between the area to the left of the standard normal curve for a z-score equal to 0.55 and the area to the left of the standard normal curve for a z-score equal to -0.91: $0.7088-0.1814=0.5274$
