Answer:

The answer is "0.9217".

Explanation:

Please find the complete question in the attached file.


\mu = 218.4 \\\\ \sigma = 25\\\\\bar{x}= 224 \\\\ n = 40 \\\\


z = \frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{(\sigma)/(√(n))}\\


= (224 - 218.4)/((25)/(√(40))) \\\\= 1.4167\\\\\to P( \bar{x}< 224) = P(z< 1.4167) = 0.9217
