In a Calculus class, the final exam scores were normally distributed with a mean of 63 and a standard deviation of 5. If you are chosen at random, what is the likelihood that you will obtain a score higher than 65 on the test?
- Identify the type of probability distribution shown in the problem. 
- Identify the given in the problem and solve for the probability.

Step 1 
We have:
The value of mean is, μ=63
The value of standard deviation is, σ=5
The objective is to find the probability of score more than 65. 
Step 2 
The type of probability distribution shown in the problem is continuous distribution. 
Calculating the likelihood of scoring more than 65 is as follows:
P(x>65)=P(z>xμσ  
=P(z>65635) 
=P(z>25) 
=P(z>0.4) 
From the z score table, for the value of z>0.4, the probability of P(z>0.4) is 0.344. 
Thus, the probability of score more than 65 is 0.344.
