Normal Distribution
1) If X ~ N(10, 4), find P(X > 14).
2) If Z ~ N(0, 1), find P(-1 < Z < 2).

deviation of 50 hours. Find the probability that a component lasts:
a) Less than 400 hours b) Between 450 and 550 hours
c) More than 600 hours
4) A medical researcher wants to study the effects of a new drug on blood pressure.
Assume blood pressure have a mean of 120 mmHg and a standard deviation of 10
mmHg. Find the probability of a patient having blood pressure above 140 mmHg.
5) The scores of a standardized test have a mean of 80 and a variance of 100. Find the
probability of a student scoring above 90.
6) A stock's daily returns follow a normal distribution with a mean of 0.5% and a standard
deviation of 1.5%. What is the probability of a daily return exceeding 3%?
7) A city's average temperature in July have a mean of 25°C and a standard deviation of
3°C. What is the probability of a temperature above 30°C on a given day?
8) A student's exam scores with a mean of 80 and a standard deviation of 10. What is the
probability of scoring above 90?
