Answer to part
a)

P(X < x) = 0.0250

for this first of all we refer to the Z table and find the Z value
corresponding to area 0.0250

This means the Z value correpsonding to left area 0.0250 is Z =

-1.96

Now the formula of Z is

Z = (x - M) / s

-1.96 *75 = x - 550

-147 +550 = x

403 = x

Answer to part
b)

The area to the right is 0.9345

Total area under the normal curve is 1

in order to find the value of Z from the Z table , we need to

find the area left to Z Case Study Solutions
thus Area to the left = 1 - area to the right
Casehero.com Open
Area to the left = 1 - 0.9345

Area to the left = 0.0655

Now we refer to the Z table and find the Z vlaue for area
0.0655

Case Study Solutions

we get Z = -1.51

Z = (x - M ) / s

-1.51 = (x - 550) / 75

436.75 = x

Answer to part
c)

Area to the right is 0.0275

area to the left is 1 - 0.0275 = 0.9725

we get Z = 1.92

1.92 = (x - 550) / 75

694 = x

Answer to part
d)

Area to the left = 0.9600

Z = 1.75

1.75 = (x - 550) / 75

681.25 = x
