Question 1162901: A report stated that the average number of
times a cat returns to its food bowl during the day is 36.
Assuming the variable is normally distributed with a standard
deviation of 5, what is the probability that a cat would
return to its dish between 32 and 38 times a day?

z=(x-mean)/sd
=(32-36)/5
=-.8
and on the other side +0.4
probability is 0.4436 of z being between those two values.
