Answer:

The proportion of exam scores that are lower than Irina's score is 0.9938

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

  • mean: 80 points
  • standard deviation (sd): 6 points
  • value of interest (x): 95 points

z-score is computed as follows:

z = (x - mean)/sd

z = (95 - 80)/6 = 2.5

We want to find:

P(z < 2.5)

From the table attached:

P(z < 2.5) = 0.9938
