Answer:

0.077

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

u = 5

σ = 0.7

x = 6

Calculation:

[tex]P(X>x)=P(z>\frac{x - u}{devst})[/tex]

[tex]P(X>6)=P(z>\frac{6-5}{0.7})[/tex]

[tex]P(X>6)=P(z>\frac{1}{0.7})[/tex]

P (X> 6) = P [z> 1.43]

To find z> 1.43 in the normal distribution graph, we must subtract from the total probability (which is 1) the value of z <1.43 (note that the sign of inequality has been changed). So, we have

P (X> 6) = 1 - P [z <1.43]

We look in the normal distribution table for the z-score of 1.43, and get 0.92364. So,

P(X>6) = 1 - 0.92364

P(X>6) = 0.076564

P(X>6) = 0.077 (Rounded)

Hope this helps!
