    62.93%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We know that mean=9.4 lb and standard deviation=4.2 lb.

    We have to find P (x≥8).

    P (x≥8) = P ((x-mean) / sd≥ (8-9.4) / 4.2)

    P (x≥8) = P (z≥ (-0.3333)

    Rounding z score to 0.33

    P (x≥8) = P (-0.33
    Using normal area table and we get P (-0.33
    P (x≥8) = 0.1293+0.5

    P (x≥8) = 0.6293

    The percentage of households throw out at least 8 lb of paper a week is 62.93%
