The annual salary of an entry-level statistics major (in thousands of dollars) is normally distributed with a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 12. X ∼ N ( μ = 75, σ = 12 ). What minimum salary should a statistics major aim for to earn amongst the to - The probability The probability that a life bulb will have a more than 682 hours lifetime is 0.9788. The probability that a bulb will have a more than 703 hours lifetime is 0.0051. Find the probability that a bulb will last for more than 648 hours.
