    1. 8.576%

    2. Yes

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1. Use the calculator

    Enter: normalcdf (8, E99, 0, 5.9)

    This is equal to. 08756.

    Convert this number into a percent = 8.756%

    2.

    First, calculate the residual

    Residual = Observed - Predicted = 165 - 2.599 (20) + 105.08 = 7.94

    Use the calculator

    Enter: normalcdf (7.94, E99, 0, 5.9)

    This is equal to. 0892.

    Convert this number into a percent = 8.92%

    This would be surprising, because the chance of this happening is very low.
