Re: Help with Means
No, .9772 and above or 97.72% and above. You are getting it. Everything greater than 97.72% or .9772
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Re: Help with Means
No, The part that is greater than .9772 is the probability of the pipe being over .44 inches. The Standard Normal Curve has been set up so that the area underneath it is 1. What is left over from .9772 when the whole curve is equal to 1?

Re: Help with Means
Hi;
If you had 10 apples less 7 how many apples are left? 3 right. So if you have 1 less .9772 what is left?

Re: Help with Means
Correct! That is the probability of a pipe diameter being larger than .44
