Assume the distribution of home selling prices follows a normal distribution. for this area the mean selling price is $95,140 and the standard deviation of the selling price is $13,100. Let S be the home selling price. For a randomly selected home find P(S>$100,000). The answer is approx. = .6447. I just really need to know how to set this question up in a TI-84 calculator PLEASE! It's urgent!
