Result exercise 29a:

μ=56\mu=56

σ=4.0988\sigma=4.0988

The z-score is the value decreased by the mean, divided by the standard deviation:

z=xμσ=65564.09882.20z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\dfrac{65-56}{4.0988}\approx 2.20

Determine the corresponding probability using table Z in appendix F:

P(X65)=P(Z>2.20)=1P(Z<2.20)=10.9861=0.0139=1.39%P(X\geq 65)=P(Z> 2.20)=1-P(Z<2.20)=1-0.9861=0.0139=1.39\%
