Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

For a normal distribution with :

Mean(m) = 0

Standard deviation (s) = 1

Calculate :

(a) less than 1.17 NM Probability

Zscore = (x - m) / s = (1.17 - 0) / 1 = 1.17

P(z < 1.17) = 0.879

(b) between 1.04 NM and 1.99 NM Probability

Zscore = (x - m) / s = (1.04 - 0) / 1 = 1.04

P(z < 1.04) = 0.8508

Zscore = (x - m) / s = (1.99 - 0) / 1 = 1.99

P(z < 1.99) = 0.9767

(0.9767 - 0.8508) = 0.1259

(c) greater than 0.93 NM Probability

P(Z > 0.93) = 1 - p(Z < 0.93) = 1 - 0.8238 = 0.1762

(d) between 0.24 NM and 0.73 NM Probability

P(Z < 0.24) = 0.5948

P(Z <0.73) = 0.7673

0.7673 - 0.5948 = 0.1725

(e) less than or equal to 2.3 NM Probability

P(Z ≤ 2.3) = 0.9893

(f) greater than 2.22 NM or less than .65 NM

P(Z > 2.22) = 1 - p(Z < 2.22) = 1 - 0.9868 = 0.0132

P(Z < 0.65) = 0.7422

0.7422 - 0.0132 = 0.729

(g) greater than or equal to 2.0 NM Probability

P(Z ≥2) = 1 - p(Z ≤ 2)

1 - 0.97725 = 0.02275
