Question 1157186: A physical fitness association is including the mile run in its secondary-school fitness test. The time for this event for boys in secondary school is known to possess a normal distribution with a mean of 450 seconds and a standard deviation of 60 seconds. Find the probability that a randomly selected boy in secondary school will take longer than 312 seconds to run the mile.

z=(x-mean)/sd
z>(312-450)/60
>-138/60
>-2.3
probability is 0.9893
