Answer:

$P(X>8)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{8-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{8-10}{2})=P(Z>-1)$

And we can find this probability with the complement rule:

$P(Z>-1)=1-P(Z$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

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".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the average homicide rate for the cities of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(10,2)$
