Answer:

The probability is 0.68439

Step-by-step explanation:

The Probability is obtained as follows:


\begin{gathered} \sigma=\text{standard deviation = 12.5} \\ \mu=\operatorname{mean}=74 \\ x=\text{sample} \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} p(x<80)=p(z<(x-u)/(\sigma)) \\ \\ =p(z<(80-74)/(12.5)) \\ \\ =p(z<(6)/(12.5)) \\ \\ =p(z<0.48) \\ \\ =0.68439 \end{gathered}
