Explanation / Answer

Mean = 68.58

Standard deviation = 17.64

A) P(X < x) = 0.7

Or, ((X - mean)/(SD/sqrt (n)) < (x - 68.58)/(17.64/sqrt(33)) = 0.7

Or, P(Z <  (x - 68.58)/(17.64/sqrt(33)) = 0.7

Or,  (x - 68.58)/(17.64/sqrt(33)) = 0.52

Or, x = 0.52 * (17.64/sqrt(33)) + 68.58

Or, x = 70.18

B) P(X < 57) = P((X - mean)/(SD/sqrt (n) < (57 - 68.58)/((17.64/sqrt(33))

= P(Z < -3.77)

= 0
