Solution

Step-1: Calculate the value of x for PX>x=0.5

x=Mean+z×SD

PX>x=0.5

Here, z=0

x=12+0×2=12

Step-2: Calculate the value of x for PX>x=0.95

PX>x=0.95

Here, z=-1.645

x=12+-1.645×2=8.71

Step-3: Calculate the value of x for Px<X<12=0.2

Px<X<12=0.2

Here, z=-0.525

x=12+-0.525×2=10.95

Step-4: Calculate the value of x for P-x<X-12<x=0.95

P-x<X-12<x=0.95

Here, P-1.96<z<1.96=0.9500

x=1.96

Step-5: Calculate the value of x for P-x<X-12<x=0.99

P-x<X-12<x=0.99

Here, P-2.575<z<2.575=0.99

x=0.99

Hence, the values of x are,

(a)x=12(b)x=8.71(c)10.95(d)1.96(e)0.99
