College students average 7 hours of sleep per night with a standard deviation of 40 minutes. If the amount of sleep is normally distributed, what proportion of college students sleep for more than 8.3 hours?
--------------------------
z(8.3) = (8.3-7)/(2/3) = 1.95
P(x> 8.3) = P(z > 1.95) = 0.0256

Probability =0.0256
