\n" ); document.write( "Find the z-score of 82 and of 90.
\n" ); document.write( "z(82) = (82-72.3)/8.9 = 1.09
\n" ); document.write( "z(90) = (90-72.3)/8.9 = 1.99
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "P(82<= x <=90) = P(1.09<= z <=1.99) = normalcdf(1.09,1.99) = 0.1146
