On average, a student takes 100 words/minute midway through an advanced court reporting course at the American Institute of Court Reporting. Assuming that the dictation speeds of the students are normally distributed and that the standard deviation is 20 words/minute, find the probability that a student randomly selected from the course can take dictation at the following speeds. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)
(a) more than 140 words/minute
(b) between 40 and 140 words/minute
(c) less than 40 words/minute
We will calculate these probabilities with the help ares under standard normal curve.
