Question 924472: Let x denote the time it takes to run a road race. Suppose x is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 190 minutes and a standard deviation of 21 minutes. If one runner is selected at random, what is the probability that this runner will complete this road race in less than 217.51 minutes?

mean = 190 minutes , sd = 21 minutes,
Using the z-value to determine the Probability:
p( x < 217.51) = P(z < 27.51/21) = P( z < 1.31)
Using a TI calculator 0r similarly a Casio fx-115 ES plus
P( z < 1.31) = normalcdf( -100, 1.31) = .9049 0r 90.49%
