The scores of students on a standardized test are normally distributed with a mean of 300 and a standard deviation of 40. What is the probability that a randomly chosen student scores below 273.2 on the test?
-----
z(273.2) = (273.2-300)/40 = -0.6700
----
P(x<273.2) = P(z< -0.6700) = normalcdf(-100,-0.67) = 0.2514
