    To answer the problem mentioned above, below is the detailed solution:

    z (38) = (38-45) / 7]

    -7/7 = - 1

    Z = - 1

    P (x < 38) = P (z < - 1) = normalcdf

    (-100,-1) = 0.1587

    Therefore probability that a randomly selected case from the sample will have a score less than 38 is 0.1587
