According to a poll, individuals keep their mobile phones for an average of 1.4 years before purchasing a new one. The standard deviation for the year is 0.24 year. A mobile phone user is chosen at random. Determine the likelihood that the user will keep their existing phone for less than a year before purchasing a new one. Assume that the variable x has a regularly distributed distribution.
