Answer:

0.40

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the z-scores.

z = (x āˆ’ Ī¼) / Ļƒ

zā‚ = (18 āˆ’ 23.5) / 3.6

zā‚ = -1.53

zā‚‚ = (25 āˆ’ 23.5) / 3.6

zā‚‚ = 0.42

Use a table or calculator to find the probability.

P(Z < -1.53) + P(Z > 0.42) = 0.0630 + (1 āˆ’ 0.6628) = 0.4002

The probability is approximately 0.40.
