ANSWER:

0.5762

Explanation:

The first thing is to calculate the value of z, with the help of the following equation:


z=(x-m)/(sd)

In this case, we calculate for the values between 28 and 36 inches, like this:


\begin{gathered} P(28We calculate the probability with the help of the following table:<p></p><p>Replacing:</p>[tex]\begin{gathered} P=0.7881-0.2119 \\ P=0.5762 \end{gathered}

The probability is 0.5762
