Answer:

The correct solution is "0.0226".

Explanation:

The given question seems to be incomplete. Please find below the attachment of the complete query.

According to the question,

Mean

= 29

Standard deviation (s),

= 8

For sample size pf 92,

The standard error will be:


SE=(s)/(√(N) )


=(8)/(√(92) )


=0.834

now,


1-P((-1.9)/(0.834) < z < (1.9)/(0.834) ) =
1-P(-2.28<z<2.28)

or,

=
1-(2* P(z<2.28)-1)

=
2-2* P(z<2.28)

With the help of table, the normal distribution will be:

=
2-2* 0.9887

=
0.0226
