    P (K > 2.2) = 0.1375

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We have that:

    P (-2.2 ≤ K ≤ 2.2) = 0.725

    P (K 2.2)

    It means that the distribution is symmetric.

    The sum of all the probabilities is decimal 1.

    We have the following probabilities:

    P (K < 2.2)

    P (-2.2 ≤ K ≤ 2.2)

    P (K > 2.2)

    So

    P (K 2.2) = 1

    Since P (K 2.2)

    P (K > 2.2) + P (-2.2 ≤ K ≤ 2.2) + P (K > 2.2) = 1

    2P (K > 2.2) + 0.725 = 1.

    2P (K > 2.2) = 1 - 0.725

    2P (K > 2.2) = 0.275

    P (K > 2.2) = 0.275/2

    P (K > 2.2) = 0.1375
