The demand ( X ) for a product is Normally distributed
Mean = = 1500
Standard deviation = = 150
We have to find P( 1400 < x < 1520 )
P( 1400 < x < 1520 ) = P( x < 1520 ) - P( x < 1400 )
Using Excel function , =NORMDIST( x , , , 1 )
P( x < 1520 ) = NORMDIST( 1520 , 1500 , 150 , 1 ) = 0.553035
P( x < 1400 ) = NORMDIST( 1400, 1500 , 150 , 1 ) = 0.252493
So, P( 1400 < x < 1520 ) = 0.553035 - 0.252493 = 0.3005
Probability that demand is between 1400 and 1520 is
0.3005
