~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


The normal distribution curve is a bell shaped curve.

The question is to determine the area under the GIVEN normal distribution curve to the right of 30 units.

and use free of charge online calculator specially intended for this purpose.


Input  20  in the port window  " Mean ";

input  3.8  in the port window     " SD ";        ( <<<---=== SD means "standard deviation" )

input number  30  in the port windows  " ABOVE ".

Then click the button  " Recalculate ".


You will get the  highlight%28highlight%28ANSWER%29%29  0.0042  in the window  " Area  (probability) ".


The shaded area in the plot shows you the area of the interest.


Every time as you get similar problem,  you can solve it this way.


This way is the easiest and shortest way to learn the subject.


When you learn the subject enough,  you will be ready and may start learning other ways.
