Question 1075149: Please help me solve the following problem. I will appreciate your solution
The weight of a certain type of chicken, when ready for the market, follows a normal distribution with mean 1.0 kg and a standard deviation of 0.20 kg. Find the percentage of the chickens that weigh between 0.89 kg and 1.50 kg.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
This is finding the z-value
That is z=(x-mean)/sd
(0.89-1.0)/0.20=-0.11/0.20=-0.55
(1.5-1.0)/0.20=.5/.2=2.5
want the probability of z being between 0=-0.55 and 2.5
it is 0.7026.
