Answer
μ = 1000   k g
σ = 35   k g
a)Find
P ( X < 978 )
= P ( x μ σ < 978 1000 35 )
= P ( z < 0.629 )
P ( x < 978 ) = 0.2647
b)P(x<1027)
P ( x μ σ < 1027 1000 35 )
P = ( z < 0.441 )
P ( x < 1027 ) = 0.7796
c) P ( 978 < x < 1027 )
P ( 978 1000 35 < x μ σ < 1027 1000 35 )
P ( 0.629 < z < 0.771 )
P ( z < 0.771 ) P ( z < 0.629 )
0.7796 0.2647
P ( 978 < x < 1027 ) = 0.5149
