The Weight of a Goose Probability
A field biologist grabs geese and weighs them. He finds out that the weights of the geese are normally distributed with a mean of 9 pounds and a standard deviation of 1.3 pounds. What then, is the probability that one of these geese snatched at random will weigh less than 10.5 pounds?

We know: X~N(9,1.3^2)
We need to compute P(X<10.5)
The Z-score for 10.5 is ...
