Suppose a geyser has a mean time between eruptions of 74 min. If the interval time between eruptions is normally distributed with standard deviation 20 min whatbis probability that a randomly selected time interval is longer than 83min.
------------
z(83) = (83-74)/20 = 9/20
------
P(x > 83) = P(z > 9/20) = normalcdf(9/20,100) = 0.3264
