Probability a gym member spends less than 75 minutes at the gym:

= = = 0.25

Look up 0.25 on a z-table. The result is 0.5987.

This means there is a 0.5987 probability a gym member spends less than 75 minutes at the gym.


Probability a gym member spends less than 65 minutes at the gym:

= = = -0.25

Look up -0.25 on a z-table. The result is 0.4013.

This means there is a 0.4013 probability a gym member spends less than 65 minutes at the gym.


So, the probability that a gym member spends between 65 and 75 minutes at the gym:

= 0.1974
