What is the probability that next week's show will:

(a)
Have between 38 and 44 million viewers? (Round z-score computation to 2 decimal places and your final answer to 4 decimal places.)


Probability

(b)
Have at least 23 million viewers? (Round z-score computation to 2 decimal places and your final answer to 4 decimal places.)


Probability

(c)
Exceed 51 million viewers? (Round z-score computation to 2 decimal places and your final answer to 4 decimal places.)

mean = 32 million, SD = 6 million.
P(38 < x < 44) = P( 1 < z < 2) = normalcdf( 1 , 2) = .1359
P(x ≥ 23) = P( z > -9/6) = normalcdf(-9/6, 100)= .9332
P( x > 51) = P(z > 19/6) = normalcdf( 19/6, 100)= .00077
