Question 1193653: Suppose that The lengths of pregnancies are normally distributed with a mean of 271 days and a standard deviation of 10 days. how do I find the percentage of pregnancies that are longer than 254 days? for my immediate computations used for or more decimal places give my final answer to two decimal places.

z=(x-mean)/sd
>(254-271)/10
or >-1.7
=0.9554 or 0.96
This makes sense, because from -2 sd rightward, the probability is about 97.5%. This isn't quite as much to the left as -2 sd but close.
