A Dell laptop company produces hard discs whose life follows a normal distribution, with mean (120 + 18) months and standard deviation (25 + 18) months. If we choose a hard disc at random what is the probability that its lifetime will be a. Less than 90 months? b. More than 130 months? C. Between 70 and 100 months?
