Question 581251: Let the random variable X follow a normal probability distribution with a mean 10 and a standard deviation of 2. Find P(X<15).
What I do know is it will not be 1 - # because of the sign, but I am not exactly sure where to start. Help!
Thank You

Let the random variable X follow a normal probability distribution with a mean 10 and a standard deviation of 2. Find P(X<15).
-----
Find the z-value of x = 15.
z(15)= (15-10)/2 = 5/2
----
P(x < 15) = P(z < 5/2) = normalcdf(-100,5/2) = 0.9938
