Question
Transcribed Image Text:Neil is a drummer who purchases his drumsticks online. When practicing with the newest pair, he notices they feel heavier than usual. When he weighs
one of the sticks, he finds that it is 2.44 oz. The manufacturer's website states that the average weight of each stick is 2.00 oz with a standard deviation
of 0.19 oz. Assume that the weight of the drumsticks is normally distributed.
What is the probability of the stick's weight being 2.44 oz or greater? Give your answer as a precise to three decimal places.
