8 = 40%

Divide each side by 2.

4 = 20%

Multiply each side by 5.

4*5 = 20

20*5 = 100

8 is 40% of 20.

Check:

20 * 0.4 = 8

Do a proportion
40/100= 8/x
8 x 100= 800
Cross multiply and divide
800 divided by 40= 20
So answer is 20

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".

The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

The complement rule is a theorem that provides a connection between the probability of an event and the probability of the complement of the event. Lat A the event of interest and A' the complement. The rule is defined by: $P(A)+P(A') =1$
