The lengths of pregnancies in a small rural village are Normally distributed with a mean of 263 days and a standard deviation of 14 days.
What percentage of pregnancies last fewer than 252 days?
P(X < 252)
-----
z(252) = (252-263)/14 = -11/14
-------
P(x < 252) = P(z < -11/14) = normalcdf(-100,-11/14) = 0.2160
