(a) On what percent of the days last year did the factory produce 20,404 skateboards or fewer?
Calculate the z score = ( 20404 - 20300) / 52 = 2
The z score translates to .9772 = about 97.7 %
(b) On what percent of the days last year did the factory produce 20,248 skateboards or more?
Calculate the z score = [ 20248 - 20300 ] / 52 = -1
The z score translates to = .1587
So....the % days that they produced 20,248 skateboards or more = 1 - .1587 = .8413 = about 84.13%
(c) On what percent of the days last year did the factory produce 20,196 skateboards or fewer?
z = [ 20196 -20300 ] / 52 = -2
The z score translates to . 0228 = 2.28%
