1. **Problem Statement:**
Find the probability that a student obtained a grade between the mean (86.08) and 91 in a General Mathematics exam where grades are normally distributed with mean $\mu = 86.08$ and standard deviation $\sigma = 6.44$.
2. **Formula Used:**
The Z-score formula is:
$$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$$
This converts a raw score $X$ to a standard normal variable $Z$.
3. **Convert X to Z-score:**
Calculate the Z-score for $X = 91$:
$$Z = \frac{91 - 86.08}{6.44} = \frac{4.92}{6.44} \approx 0.76$$
The mean corresponds to $Z = 0$.
4. **Find the Probability:**
We want the probability $P(0 < Z < 0.76)$.
From the Z-table:
$$P(Z < 0.76) = 0.7764$$
$$P(Z < 0) = 0.5000$$
5. **Calculate the Area Between Z-scores:**
$$P(0 < Z < 0.76) = P(Z < 0.76) - P(Z < 0) = 0.7764 - 0.5000 = 0.2764$$
6. **Conclusion:**
There is approximately a 27.64% probability that a randomly selected student scored between the mean (86.08) and 91.
