The life expectancy of Timely brand watches is normally distributed with a mean of four years and a standard deviation of eight months.
What is the probability that a randomly selected watch will be in working condition for more than five years?
--------------------
z(5) = (5-4)/8 = 1/8
----
P(x > 5) = P(z> 1/8) = normalcdf(1/8,100) = 0.4503
