Question 28
Answer is C
But how?
re-read the chapter on approximation to the Normal distributions
if X is approximately Normal with mean \mu and deviation \sigma, then, for a constant K,
Pr(X < K) = Pr(Z < [K - \mu] / \sigma)
You can use this to verify the first two sentences are accurate. In the third case (C),
Pr(A < X < B) = Pr(Z < [B - $\mu$ ] / \sigma) - Pr(Z < [A - \mu] / \sigma)
(the math code is broken and i cant figure out why)
if you do this, you’ll find that in the 3rd case, the probability is around 68%, not 95%
Thank you @not_a_CFA

As per this 15+10 = 25
And 15-10=5
So 5 to 25 covers 68% are you trying to say this.
If yes, I understand the logic behind option C is least accurate. But how option A and B is accurate?
for A and B, all you have to do is use
Pr(X < K) = Pr(Z < [K - μ ] / σ )
where μ = .15 and σ = .10
for A, you have Pr( X < .05)
for B, you have Pr( X > .35) = 1 - Pr( X < .35)
