Answer:

Following are the solution to this question:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

[tex]\ Mean = 0.54 \times 555 \\[/tex]

[tex]= 299.7[/tex]

[tex]SD = 11.74[/tex]

In point a:

[tex]\to Z = \frac{(338 - 299.7)}{11.74}[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{(38.3)}{11.74}\\\\= 3.26[/tex]

[tex]\to P = 0.000557\\\\\to \% = 0.06 \%[/tex]

In point b:

[tex]\to Z = \frac{(285 - 299.7)}{11.74}[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{(-14.7)}{11.74}\\\\= -1.25\\[/tex]

[tex]\to P = 0.8944\\\\\to \% = 89.44 \%[/tex]

In point c:

[tex]\to 48\% \times 555 = 266.4\\\\\to Z = \frac{(266.4 - 299.7)}{11.74}\\\\[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{(-33.3)}{11.74}\\\\= -2.83[/tex]

[tex]\to P = 0.002256\\\\\to \% = 0.23 \%[/tex]
