Answer:

Instrumental understanding – having a mathematical rule and being able to apply and manipulate it. Relational understanding – having a mathematical rule, knowing how to use it AND knowing why it works.

Step-by-step explanation:

Instrumental understanding involves “memorising which problems a method works for and which not, and also learning a different method for each new class of problems” (Skemp 1987, p. 159), is a desire to know “some kind of rule for getting the answer” (p. 155) so that a student can “latch on it and ignore the rest”

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Let X the random variable that represent interest on this case, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(\mu,\sigma)$
