Step 1
From the provided information,
Mean (μ)=20
Standard deviation (σ)=4
XN(20,4)
Step 2
The required probability that a randomly chosen value will be greater than 25 can be obtained as:
P(X>25)=P(xμσ>25204)
=P(Z>1.25)
=1P(Z<1.25)
=10.8944=0.1056 (Using standard normal table)
Thus, the required probability is 0.1056.
