Answer:

0.9773

Explanation:

Here, we start by calculating the z-scores statistic

Mathematically;

z-score = (x-mean)/SD/√n

From the question, we have;

x = 71, mean = 70, SD = 5 and n = 100

Plugging these values in the equation above, we have;

z-score = (71-70)/5/√100 = 1/5/10 = 1/0.5 = 2

So the probability we want to calculate is that;

P(z > 2)

This is obtainable from the standard normal distribution table

P(z > 2) = 0.97725 which is 0.9773 to 4 decimal places
