Given in the question
P(X < x) = 0.68
This implies that
P(Z < 0.4676987991145084) = 0.68
z score value corresponding to 68% = 0.4676987991145084
With the help of formula for z, we can say that
b) Given in the question
P(X < x) = 0.95
This implies that
P(Z < 1.6448536269514722) = 0.95
z score value corresponding to 95% = 1.6448536269514722
With the help of formula for z, we can say that
c) Given in the question
P(X < x) = 0.997
This implies that
P(Z < 2.7477813854449926) = 0.997
z score value corresponding to 99.7% = 2.7477813854449926
With the help of formula for z, we can say that
PS: you have to refer z score table to find the final
probabilities.
