Question
### Teachers' Salaries in North Dakota

**Overview:**
The average teacher's salary in North Dakota is $35,441. We assume a normal distribution with a standard deviation (σ) of $5100. All final answers should be rounded to at least 4 decimal places, and intermediate z-value calculations should be rounded to 2 decimal places.

**Part 1 of 2**

**Question:**
What is the probability that a randomly selected teacher's salary is greater than $37,000?

**Mathematical Expression:**
\[P(X > 37,000) = \]

**Interactive Components:**
- An input box for students to enter their calculated probability.
- Buttons for submission and navigation to the next part of the problem.

**Instructions:**
1. Calculate the z-score using the formula:
   \[ z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma} \]
   where:
   - \( \mu \) is the mean salary ($35,441)
   - \( \sigma \) is the standard deviation ($5100)
   - \( X \) is the salary value in question ($37,000)

2. After finding the z-score, use the z-table to find the corresponding probability.

3. Subtract the z-table value from 1 to find the probability that the salary is greater than $37,000.

**Submission:**
An entry box is provided for the final answer, alongside navigation buttons for progressing to the next part.

**Additional Features:**
A "Next Part" button is included for moving on to subsequent parts of the assignment after completing this section.

**Visual Aids:**
No graphs or diagrams are present in this section, focusing on the calculation process. 

This content-setting ensures students comprehend the statistical concepts spanning normal distribution, z-scores, and probability calculations in a structured learning environment.
