document.write( "mean of 8 yrs and a standard deviation of 2 years.
\n" );
document.write( "(i)Using TI: The syntax is normalcdf(smaller, larger, µ, σ).
\n" );
document.write( "Note: The -9999 is used as the smaller value to be at least 5 standard deviations from the mean.
\n" );
document.write( "P(x > 10) =  1 - normalcdf(-9999,10, 8,2)
\n" );
document.write( "(ii) 
\n" );
document.write( "P(x < 4) = normalcdf(-9999,4, 8,2)
\n" );
document.write( "0r
\n" );
document.write( "P(P(x > 10) = 1 - NORMSDIST(1) =  1 - .8413 = .1587
\n" );
document.write( "P(x < 4) =  =  NORMSDIST(-2) = .0028     .28% will have to be replaced \n" );
