Algebra.Com's Answer #689823 by Boreal(15235) You can put this solution on YOUR website! This is finding the z-value \n" ); document.write( "That is z=(x-mean)/sd \n" ); document.write( "(0.89-1.0)/0.20=-0.11/0.20=-0.55 \n" ); document.write( "(1.5-1.0)/0.20=.5/.2=2.5 \n" ); document.write( "want the probability of z being between 0=-0.55 and 2.5 \n" ); document.write( "it is 0.7026. \n" ); document.write( " |
