Adjusting the probability statement P (35.5 ≤ x ≤ 39.5) to the standard normal variable resulted in P (1.59 ≤ z ≤ 2.74). Recall that the normal probability table gives area under the curve to the left of a given z value. Use the table to find P (1.59 ≤ z ≤ 2.74), the probability that between 36 and 39 questions are answered correctly, rounding the result to four decimal places. P (1.59 ≤ z ≤ 2.74) = P (z ≤ 2.74) - P (z ≤ 1.59)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Use the table to find P (1.59 ≤ z ≤ 2.74)

    The z values of 1.59 and 2.74 are gotten from the formula,

    z = (x - mean) / standard deviation.

    The probabilities that we are looking for are that of between 36 and 39.

    Looking at the table, we look at each value if z separately.

    The first one is

    P (z = 1.59). Go to the normal distribution table,

    We read up a value of 0.94408 by looking at the z column on the left for 1.5 and tracing it to where it coincides with z value of 0.09 at the top

    P (z = 2.74) = 0.99693 by looking at the z column on the left for 2.7 and tracing it to where it coincides with z value of 0.04 at the top.

    P (1.59 ≤ z ≤ 2.74) = P (z ≤ 2.74) - P (z ≤ 1.59) = 0.99693 - 0.94408

    = 0.05285

    = 0.0529 to 4 decimal places.
