The time spent watching tv on a weekend by USC students is normally distributed with amean of 180 minutes and a standard deviation of 25 minutes. Find the
probability that such a student selected at random will spend
(a) More than 230 minutes watching tv
Find the z-value::
z(230) = (230-180)/35 = 50/35 = 1.4286
P(x > 230) = P(z > 1.4286) = normalcdf(1.4286,100) = 0.0066
-------------------
Use the same procedure::
Find the z-values ; then find the probability.
