A set of 50 data values has a mean of 20 and a variance of 36.
If variance = 36, std = 6
------
I. Find the standard score (z) for a data value = 18.
z(18) = (18-20)/6 = -2/6 = -1/3
------------------------------------------
II. Find the probability of a data value < 18.
P(x < 18) = P(z < -1/3) = 0.3694
