Answer:

0.15866

Explanation:

The term at most 9 means = less than or equal to 9

This represented as x ≤ 9

We solve using the z score formula

z = (x-μ)/σ, where

x is the raw score = ≤ 9

μ is the population mean = 10

σ is the population standard deviation = 1

z = 9 - 10/1

z = -1

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x ≤ 9) = 0.15866

Therefore, the probability of selecting a number that is at most 9 is 0.15866
