Long story short I had to miss class last week because my mom's car broke down and I'm lost. If anyone can help me work through one problem I think I can get the rest on my own. (I took this class in high school, but forgot most of it.)

Problem-
Assume that X~N (6,5)
What is the P(X *Insert greater than or equal to sign* 4)

My answer was .6654. Is it right? -_-;

um, if X~N is your data set (not quite sure what that means) then the probablilty is 1 because everything in the data set (5 and 6) is greater than or equal to 4.

^Well, yes. This is applying z-scores. Nevermind though, I think I got it. Thanks to anyone who tried to help.

And superplough, just so you know it means X is normal to the point (6,5)
