Question 1159158: 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 470 seconds and a standard deviation of 40 seconds. Find the probability that a randomly selected boy in secondary school will take longer than 541 seconds to run the mile.

z=(x-mean)/sd
=(470-541)/40
=-71/40
=-1.775
Want probability z >1.775 =0.0379
