(a) for this question, x = 40,000 and z−value = −0.5 P(x < 40000) take the area of the normal distribution curve to the left of −0.5 = 0.308 ⇒ percentage = 0.308 ×100 = 30.8% (b) when x = 45000, z = −0.25 when x = 65000, z = 0.75 P(45000< x < 65000) we need the area of the normal distribution curve inbetween −0.25 and 0.75 = 0.3720 ⇒ percentage = 0.3720 × 100 = 37.20% (c) for x = 70,000 , z = 1 P(x > 70000) will be the area of the normal distribution curve to the right of 1. = 0.1586 ⇒ percentage = 15.86%
