is a Normally distributed variable with mean and standard deviation Find \)

\( X \) is a Normally distributed variable with mean \( =30 \) and standard deviation \( =4 . \) Find \( P(x<40) \)

  • A. 0 .9789
  • B. 0.9938
  • C. 0.9838
  • D. 0.9538

Step-by-step solution

First, convert to standard normal: z = (40-30)/4 = 2.5. Then P(X<40) = P(Z<2.5). From standard normal distribution table, the cumulative probability for z=2.5 is approximately 0.9938.
