Answer:

a:     0.43194

b:     0.09084

Step-by-step explanation:

First construct the z values for 498 and 506.

[tex]z=\frac{x-u}{s}[/tex]

[tex]z(498)=\frac{498-500}{35}[/tex]=-0.05714

z(506)=(506-500)/35=0.17143

Check the cumulative normal distribution tables to find

P(x<=-0.05714)=0.47722

P(x<=506)=0.52278

These probabilities imply that

P(x>506)=1-P(x<=506)=1-0.52278=0.43194

P(498<=x<=506)=P(x<=506)-P(x<=498)=0.09084
