Explanation
## Step 1: Calculate the z-scores### To standardize the values 130 and 170, we use the z-score formula:
, where
is the value,
is the mean, and
is the standard deviation. For
,
. For
,
.## Step 2: Find the probabilities corresponding to the z-scores### Using a z-table or calculator, we find the probabilities corresponding to the calculated z-scores.
and
.## Step 3: Calculate the probability between the two z-scores### The probability
is equivalent to
. This can be calculated as
.
