In order to determine the probability, first use the followinf formula to calculate the Z factorr:
[tex]Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]where:
x: specific value from the data = 15.5 kg
σ: standard deviation = 2.2 kg
μ: mean = 16.6 kg
replace the previous values to find the Z factor:
[tex]Z=\frac{15.5\operatorname{kg}-16.6\operatorname{kg}}{2.2\operatorname{kg}}=0.5[/tex]Next, search the corresponding value of the probability in a table of Normal distribution.
The correspondinf value of the probability for Z = 0.5 is P = 19.15%
This can be noticed in the following graph.
