Solution

The correct answer is "P(X < 20) is greater than P(X < 16)". This is because the mean of the distribution is 20, so the probability of a value being less than the mean is always 0.5 (or 50%). However, 16 is less than the mean, so the probability of a value being less than 16 is less than 0.5. Therefore, P(X < 20) is greater than P(X < 16).
