You can put this solution on YOUR website!
a normal distribution has the mean of 40 and the standard deviation 6. If a score is randomly selected, what is the probability that the score is greater than 43?
----
Your measuring stick is the z-distribution.
---
z(43) = (43-40)/6 = 1/2
----
P(x > 43) = P(z > 1/2) = normalcdf(1/2,100) = 0.3085
