Question
X is normally distributed with mean 12 and SD 4. Find P(X ≤ 20) and P(0 ≤ X ≤ 12)

Solution
X is normally distribution with mean 12 and SD 4
∴ µ = 12 and σ = 4
Standard normal variable
z = `(x - mu)/sigma`
= `(x - 12)/4`
P(X ≤ 20)
When x = 20
z = `(20 - 12)/4 = 8/4` = 2
v(x ≤ 20) = `8/4` = 2
P(x ≤ 20) = P(z ≤ 2)
= 0.5 + p(0 < z < 2)
= 0.5 + 0.4772
= 0.9772
P(0 ≤ X ≤ 12)
When x = 0
z = `(0 - 12)/4 = (-12)/4 = - 3`
When x = 12
z = `(12 - 12)/4 = 0/4` = 0
P(0 ≤ x ≤ 12) = P(-3 ≤ z ≤ 0)
= P(0 ≤ z ≤ 3)
= 0.4987
