    To solve this, we need to use the z statistic. The formula for z score is:

    z = (x - u) / s

    where x is sample value = less than 90, u is the sample mean = 90.6, s is the standard deviation = 17.2

    z = (90 - 90.6) / 17.2

    z = - 0.035

    From the standard distribution tables:

    P (z = - 0.035) = 0.4860

    Therefore there is about 48.60 % chance that it will be less than 90 pounds
