Answer:

b. .0085

Explanation:

we normalize our sample to get a Pz value

$P_z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma} \\P_Z = \frac{600,000 - 425,000}{130,000} = 1,3461538461$

Then, we look in the tables for the accumulated probability at that point:

0.910873547

This is the area BELOW teh given mark we are asked for the probability above the area (more than 600,000)

1 - 0.910873547 = 0,089126

the most close estimation will be option b
