Given:
μ=5.2
σ=0.3
x=5.4
z=xμσ
=5.45.20.3
0.67
Use the normal probability table in the appendix to determine the corresponding probability. P(z<0.67) is given in the row beginning with 0.6 and in the column beginning with 0.07.
P(x<5.4)=P(z<0.67)=0.7486
=74.86%
Approximately 74.86% of people have less than 5.4 liters of blood.
