Question 629672: Here is my problem, I do not fully understand but the work I have done so far has me thinking that the probability that a randomly sampled score based on the example would be equal to or greater than a score of 134 is 4.01%
In a research study, you measured the weights of all learners in a college freshman class. The normally distributed set of scores for the population of learners has a mean of 120 pounds and a standard deviation of 8 pounds.
If you randomly sampled one score from the population, what is the probability it would be equal to or greater than a score of 134?
How would you briefly explain the results.

Hi,
z+=+%28134-120%29%2F8+=+1.75 P(z < 1.75 )= .9599
P(x ≥ 134) = 1 - .9599 = .0401 or 4.01% good work!
