Lisa has collected data to find that the number of pages per book on a book shelf has a normal distribution. What is the probability that a randomly selected book has fewer than 133 pages if the mean is 185 pages and the standard deviation is 26 pages? Use the empirical rule.Enter your answer as a percent rounded to two decimal places if necessary.

2.5% probability that a randomly selected book has fewer than 133 pages if the mean is 185 pages and the standard deviation is 26 pages
Step-by-step explanation:
The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:
68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.
95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.
99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.
In this problem, we have that:
Mean = 185
Standard deviation = 26
The normal distribution is symmetric, which means that 50% of the measures are above the mean and 50% are below.
What is the probability that a randomly selected book has fewer than 133 pages if the mean is 185 pages and the standard deviation is 26 pages?
133 = 185 - 2*26
So 133 is two standard deviations below the mean.
By the Empirical Rule, of the 50% of the measures below the mean, 95% are within 2 standard deviations of the mean, that is, above 133 and below 185. The other 5% is below 133
p = 0.05*0.5 = 0.025
2.5% probability that a randomly selected book has fewer than 133 pages if the mean is 185 pages and the standard deviation is 26 pages
