Hi

z = (680-600)/50 = 1.6    invNorm(1.6) = .9452

 P(z > 680) = 1 - .9452 = .0548  0r 5.48%

estimate the probability that on a day chosen at random the number of units sold will be more than 680
--------------------
z(680) = (680-600)/50 = 80/50 = 1.6
----------
Ans: P(x > 680) = P(z > 1.6) = normalcdf(1.6,100) = 0.0548
