Answer: 0.84134

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the z-score for the given information first since this will help us find the probability. The formula for this is

Z score = [tex]\frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

We have

[tex]x =[/tex] 66 inches (the raw score)

[tex]\mu =[/tex] 70 inches (the population mean)

[tex]\sigma[/tex] = 4 inches (the standard deviation)

This gives

Z score = [tex]\frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{66-70}{4} = -1[/tex]

If you use a calculator, or a Z-score table then P(x > Z) is just P(Z > -1) which gives a probability of 0.84134.
