To solve this problem, we make use of the z statistic. The formula for z score is:
z = (x – u) / s
where x is sample value, u is the mean and s is the standard deviation
z (x = 49) = (49 – 76) / 9 = -3
Using the standard tables, P (z = -3) = 0.0013
z (x = 103) = (103 – 76) / 9 = 3
Using the standard tables, P (z = 3) = 0.9987
Hence,
P (-3 <= z <=3) = 0.9987 – 0.0013 = 0.9974
Therefore 99.74%
