Sigma = 3.
Te = 3+8+6 = 17.
(20-17)/3 = 1.

So probability = 84%.

Chandu said:   2 years ago
Z = (20-17)/√(1²+2²+2²),
Z = (20-17)/3,
Z = 1,
So P(1)= 0.842.

@All.

Here standard deviation means "sigma".

What is sigma? Please explain briefly.

Sumit Patil said:   7 years ago
Yeah, 0. 66 is right. I agree @Nir.

Ramanathan said:   1 decade ago
What is the 20? Is it from formula?

Pawan said:   6 years ago
Yeah, 0.66 is right the right one.

(20-3-8-6)/(1^2+2^2+2^2)^1/2 = 1.
