We have a normal distribution, "\\mu=10000, \\sigma=2400."

Let's convert it to the standard normal distribution,

"z=\\cfrac{x-\\mu}{\\sigma}.\\\\\n\\text{a. } z_1=\\cfrac{12000-10000}{2400}=0.83;\\\\\nP(X>12000)=P(Z>0.83)=\\\\\n=1-P(Z<0.83)=\\\\\n=1-0.7967=0.2033\n\\text{ (from z-table)}.\\\\\n\\text{b. } z_2=\\cfrac{9000-10000}{2400}=-0.42;\\\\\nP(X<9000)=P(Z<-0.42)=\\\\\n=0.3372\n\\text{ (from z-table)}."
