    PLEASE help.. STATISTICS (Normal distribution)
    I need a step by step solution to this:
    (The answers are already given; I just need the computations)
    Data indicates an average population weight of a fish of 40 lbs and a standard deviation of 4 lbs. Assume weight is normally distributed in the population. How probable was it to catch a tuna:
    a. greater than 50 lbs Answer: 0.62%
    b. less than 35 lbs Answer: 10.56%
    c. between 32 and 36 lbs Answer: 13.59%
    d. 36 and 48 lbs Answer: 81.85%

    Thank you so much!!

    You'll have to define your variable first.

    Let X be the weight of a fish.

    Then,

    You should know what are mu and sigma.

    Then, the probability that the weight is greater than a certain value x,



    Then you look in your normal table and look for the probability associated with the z value.

    Can you use this hint and solve your problem, then post the work that you did?
