We have the following information:'
[tex]\begin{gathered} \mu=40 \\ \sigma=4 \\ x=44 \end{gathered}[/tex]We want to calculate the following probability:
[tex]P(X>44)[/tex]then, using the information that we are given, we havE:
[tex]P(X>44)=P(X-\mu>44-40)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{44-40}{4})=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>1)[/tex]since:
[tex]Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]we have the following:
[tex]P(X>44)=P(Z>1)=0.1587[/tex]therefore, the probability of selecting a score greater than 44 is 15.87%
