4. The mean number of hours a Filipino worker spends on the computer is 3.1 hours per workday.
Assume the standard deviation is 0.5 hour and is normally distributed, how long does a worker spend on
the computer if his z-score is 1.2?

following problems. Write your solution on the space provided after the unit number.
2. P( Z>1.78)
Solution:
The probability P( Z> 1.78) is the same as the area under the normal curve at the left of
z=1.78
z=1.78=0.96246
Thus , the probability is 0.96246∨96.25%

¿ P ( Z ←1 )
P ( Z ←1 )=0.15866
From the table, the probability at the left of 𝑧 = -1 is equal to 0.15866 or 15.87%. This implies that the
probability that a random variable X is less than 52 is 0.15866 or 15.87%.

From the table, the probability at the left of 𝑧 = 0.38 is equal to 0.35197 or 35.92%. This implies that the
probability that a random variable X is greater than 57 is 0.35197 or 35.92%.
