Thread: Normal Curve Probability...

"A population is normally distributed with a mean of 25.8 and a standard deviation of 1.5. What is the probability that a randomly selected member of the population will have a measure greater than 28?"


And yet there are NO examples of this in the book nor in the online course.

Help?
