    This. While often the Z table isn't applicable to sample means and standard deviations it's likely assumed in this case it does.

    I looked at the site, i did 90(because its a chance of 90g) - the mean over the standard deviation, but the answer I got was wrong. Can anyone else help?

    Z = (90 - 92.75)/13.1751 = -0.2087
    then use a z stat table like this one http://www.stat.ufl.edu/~athienit/Tables/Ztable.pdf
    go over from -0.2 to the 0.09 column (since -0.2087 rounds to -0.209), and you get 0.3859. also this makes sense logically. if the mean is a bit more than the number you're concerned with, it would make sense that the probability is a bit less than half

    Actually I think the probability is closer to .417, as the columns represent the hundredths digits (i.e. -0.20 to -0.29), so we would look at the -0.2 row and the .01 column which gives .4168, but we would expect it to be a little higher than that because we rounded up. Wolframalpha gives a similar result: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=probability+that+z<=-.2087
