a) P(120< x <180) = P( (120-160/25)< z < (180-160/25) )
= P( -1.6 < z < 0.8)
= P(z < 0.8) - P(z > 1.6)
= 0.7881 - (1-0.9452)
= 0.7881 - 0.0548
= 0.7333
b) P( x<120 ) = P( z < (120-160/25) )
= P( z < -1.6 )
= 1 - 0.9452
= 0.0548
c) P( x>210 ) = P( z > (210-160/25) )
= P( z > 2 )
= 1 - 0.9772
= 0.0228
Note: Used a Normal Distribution Function Table.
