1. **Problem Statement:**
Find the probability that the annual salary of a randomly selected teacher is at least 85,000 pesos.
2. **Formula and Explanation:**
We use the z-score formula to convert the raw score to a standard normal variable:
$$z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}$$
where $x$ is the raw score, $\mu$ is the mean, and $\sigma$ is the standard deviation.
3. **Given Data:**
$$\mu = 75,000, \quad \sigma = 15,000, \quad x = 85,000$$
4. **Calculate the z-score:**
$$z = \frac{85,000 - 75,000}{15,000} = \frac{10,000}{15,000} = 0.67$$
5. **Find the probability:**
The probability that the salary is at least 85,000 is:
$$P(X \geq 85,000) = P(Z \geq 0.67) = 1 - P(Z \leq 0.67)$$
From standard normal tables or a calculator:
$$P(Z \leq 0.67) = 0.7486$$
6. **Calculate the final probability:**
$$P(Z \geq 0.67) = 1 - 0.7486 = 0.2514$$
7. **Interpretation:**
There is approximately a 25.14% chance that a randomly selected teacher earns at least 85,000 pesos annually.
