A recent study of the hourly wages of maintenance crew members for major airlines showed that the mean hourly salary was $20.50, with a standard deviation of $3.50. Assume the distribution of hourly wages follows the normal robability distribution. !f we select a crew member at random, what is the robability the crew member earns" a# $etween $20.50 and $2%.00 er hour& 'e will solve this by com uting ( value )o for 'age $2% er hour * + ,2%-20.5#.3.5 + 1 /ow from the ( table *,1# + .0%13 )o the robability of wages between $20.50 and $2%.00 er hour + .0%13-.50 + .3%13 or 3%.131
