    I believe the parts are:

    A. What is the probability that Upper X greater than 95X>95 ?

    B. What is the probability that Upper X less than 75X<75?

    C. What is the probability that Upper X less than 85X125?

    D. 95 % of the values are between what two X-values (symmetrically distributed around the mean) ?

    Solution:

    We use the equation for z score:

    z = (X - μ) / σ

    Then use the standard normal probability tables to locate for the value of P at indicated z score value.

    A. Z = (95 - 100) / 10 = - 0.5

    Using the tables, the probability at z = - 0.5 using right tailed test is:

    P = 0.6915

    B. Z = (75 - 100) / 10 = - 2.5

    Using the tables, the probability at z = - 2.5 using left tailed test is:

    P = 0.0062

    C. Z = (85 - 100) / 10 = - 1.5

    Using the tables, the probability at z = - 2.5 using left tailed test is:

    P = 0.0668

    Z = (125 - 100) / 10 = 2.5

    Using the tables, the probability at z = 2.5 using right tailed test is:

    P = 0.0062

    So the probability that 85125 is:

    P (total) = 0.0668 + 0.0062

    P (total) = 0.073

    D. P (left) = 0.025, Z = - 1.96

    P (right) = 0.975, Z = 1.96

    The X’s are calculated using the formula:

    X = σz + μ

    At Z = - 1.96

    X = 10 (-1.96) + 100 = 80.4

    At Z = 1.96

    X = 10 (1.96) + 100 = 119.6

    So 95% of the values are between 80.4 and 119.6 (80.4< X <119.6).
