The monthly incomes of trainees at a local mill are normally distributed with a mean of $820 and a standard deviation of $125. What percentage of trainees earn less than $780 a month?
----------------------------
z(780) = (780-820)/125 = -0.32
---
P(x < 780) = P(z < -0.32) = 0.3745
---------------------------------------------
The percentage that earned less than 760 = 37.45%
