Suppose that the distribution of the lifetime of a car battery produced by a certain car company is well approximated by a normal distribution with a mean of 1900 hours and variance 104. What is the approximate probability that a batch of 100 car batteries will contain at least 18 whose lifetimes are less than 1813 hours?
