STATISTICS QUESTION, PLEASE HELP AND EXPLAIN!

Answer 1

b

Explanation:

With so many question of statistics I had to go looking for a Z table.

Ok so in order to know an accurate percentage in a normal distribution you calculate Z:

`z = (x - mean) / (st \: dev)`

Z = (65 - 70)/7.5 = - 0.667

Then you enter Z in a Z-Table (there are many Z-table so be careful how you use it)

And the probability for a Z of - 0.667 is ~25%
