A professional  Math writer will  NEVER  ask a question this way.


A professional Math writer will  EITHER  ask

    - What is the probability that a company will have a stock price greater of equal  $65?

                        OR

    - What is the probability that a company will have a stock price lesser of equal  $65?


If the question is posed in a way as it is posed in this post,
then it becomes clear to everybody and anybody in the radius of  3000  miles around
that a person,  who asks such question,  is mathematically illiterate in the probability theory.
