Answer:

P [ X > 23,22 ] = 0,8798 or P [ X > 23,22 ] = 87,98 %

Explanation:

P [ X > 23,22 ] = 1 - P [X ≤ 23,22 ]

P [X ≤ 23,22 ] = ( X - μ₀ ) / σ /√n

P [X ≤ 23,22 ] = ( 23,22 - 36,25 )/ 6,50/√36

P [X ≤ 23,22 ] = - 13,03 *6 / 6,50

P [X ≤ 23,22 ] = - 12,02 or P [X ≤ 23,22 ] = 12,02 %

(note the - sign only mean that values on the left tail of the bell shape curve)

Then

P [ X > 23,22 ] = 1 - 0,1202

P [ X > 23,22 ] = 0,8798 or P [ X > 23,22 ] = 87,98 %
