Question 881103: a manufacturer of tow chains finds that the average breaking point is at 3,500 pounds and the standard deviation is 250 pounds. if you pull a weight of at least 3000 pounds with this tow chain, what percentage of time would you expect the chain to break

mean = 3,500 pounds and the standard deviation is 250 pounds.
*Note:
P(x ≥ 3000) = 1 - P(z < 2) = 1 - 87.72% = 2.28% of the time would expect the chain to break
