document.write( "Question 869231: The amount of time that office workers at Company XYZ spend on the computer each workday is normally distributed with a mean of 3.1 hours and a standard deviation of 0.5 hours. Find the percentage of office workers at Company XYZ who spend less than 4.1 hours on the computer per workday.\r

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
z = (x-mu)/sigma
\n" ); document.write( "z = (4.1-3.1)/0.5
\n" ); document.write( "z = 1/0.5
\n" ); document.write( "z = 2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now use a table to find the area to the left of z = 2. This is approximately 0.9772 (roughly 97.72%)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So you are correct. The only typo you made was writing \"%28x-mean%29%2F%28standard+deviation%2Fsquare+root+of+n%29\" when you should have written \"%28x-mu%29%2Fsigma\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"mu+=+mean\" (greek letter lowercase mu)
\n" ); document.write( "\"sigma+=+standard_deviation\" (greek letter lowercase sigma)
\n" ); document.write( "
