Step-by-step explanation

From the question;


\mu=$3262,\sigma=$1100

Recall;


z=(x-\mu)/(\sigma)

Therefore;

Part A

Using a z-calculator


P\mleft(x<1000\mright)=P(x<strong>Answer: 0.019872</strong><p><strong>Part B</strong></p>[tex]P\mleft(x>4000\mright)=P(x>z)=P\mleft(x>(4000-3262)/(1100)\mright)=P\mleft(z>0.6709\mright)=0.25114

Answer: 0.25114

Part C
