0.82%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the mean (m) is equal to 48.6, the standard deviation (sd) 11.4

They ask us for P (x >76)

For this, the first thing is to calculate z, which is given by the following equation:

z = (x - m) / sd

We have all these values, replacing we have:

z = (76 - 48.6) / (11.4)

z = 2.4

With the normal distribution table (attached), we have that at that value, the probability is:

P (z <2.4) = 0.9918

Thus:

P (x> 76) = 1 - P (x <76)

P (x> 76) = 1 - 0.9918 = 0.0082

It means that the probability is 0.82%
