Answer

$P(1000 < x < 1400)$ = 0.8658

Work Step by Step

$\mu =1262$ $\sigma = 118$ Part A i) Convert 1000 to a z-score: z = $\frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}$ z = $\frac{1000 - 1262}{118}$ z= -2.22 ii) Convert 1400 to a z score: z = $\frac{1400 - 1262}{118}$ z = 1.17 iii) $P(1000 < x < 1400) = P(—2.22 < z < 1.17)$ $P(-2.22 < z < 1.17)$ = $P(z < 1.17) - P(z < -2.22)$ =$ 0.8790 - 0.0132$ = $0.8658$ Therefore $P(1000 < x < 1400)$ = 0.8658
