To find the probability that a sunflower is 74 inches tall, we need to calculate the Z-score first.
Z = (X - mean) / standard deviation
Z = (74 - 72) / 3
Z = 2 / 3
Z = 0.67
Next, we look up the Z-score of 0.67 in the standard deviation table, which corresponds to a value of 0.2514. This is the probability that a sunflower is 74 inches tall.
Therefore, the correct answer is 0.2514.
Use the standard deviation table to answer the question.
