Question statement

The salary of an electrician is normally distributed with mean €{m} and standard deviation €{s}.

Give any introductory information the student needs.

Ask the student a question, and give any hints about how they should answer this part.

If one electrician is chosen at random, what is probability that this electrician earns over €{upper}?

Probability = Unnamed gap(to 2 decimal places)

Advice

(a)

Converting to $\operatorname{N}(0,1)$

$\simplify[all,!collectNumbers]{P(X > {upper}) = P(Z > ({upper} -{m}) / {s})} = P(Z>\var{zupper}) = 1-P(Z<\var{zupper})=1-\var{p1} = \var{prob2}$ to 2 decimal places.

(b)

$\simplify[all,!collectNumbers]{P({lower} < X < {upper}) = P(X < {upper})-P(X < {lower})}=P(Z<\var{zupper})-P(Z<-\var{zlower}) =\var{p1}-\var{p2} = \var{prob3}$ to 2 decimal places.
