Answer: 0.1557
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Mean : [tex]\mu=\ 8[/tex]
Standard deviation : [tex]\sigma= 0.4[/tex]
The formula to calculate the z-score :-
[tex]z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
Let the random variable x (number of hours) is normally distributed .
For x= 8.4
[tex]z=\dfrac{8.4-8}{0.4}=1[/tex]
For x= 9.1
[tex]z=\dfrac{9.1-8}{0.4}=2.75[/tex]
The p-value =[tex] P(8.4<x<9.1)=P(1<z<2.75)[/tex]
[tex]=P(z<2.75)-P(z<1)= 0.9970202-0.8413447\\\\=0.1556755\approx0.1557[/tex]
