SOLUTION

Recall the z score formula:

[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The given values are

[tex]x=94,\mu=82.6,\sigma=12.4[/tex]

Therefore the score is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} z=\frac{94-86.4}{12.4} \\ z=0.6129 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore the score is 0.6129 standard deviations away from the mean.

b. From the table, the required value is 0.729069

Hence the percentage is 72.9069%
