Let X be a random variable with an N(2,4) distribution. FindP(|X−2|^2 >.36)
µ = 2
sd = sqrt(4) = 2
P(|X - 2|2 > 0.36) = P(|X - 2| > 0.6)
= 1 - P(|X - 2| < 0.6)
= 1 - P(|(X - µ) / sd| < 0.6/sd)
= 1 - P(|Z| < 0.6/2)
= 1 - P(-0.3 < Z < 0.3)
= 1 - (P(Z < 0.3) - P(Z < -0.3))
= 1 - (0.6179 - 0.3821)
= 0.7642
