The average weekly income of a supervisor on duty in the glass industry has a normal distribution, with a mean of $ 1,000 and a standard deviation of $ 100. That is, μ = $ 1,000 and σ = $ 100. What is the probability to select a supervisor whose weekly income ranges from $ 1,000 to $ 1,100? This question is expressed with Probability notation as follows: P ($ 1,000 <weekly income <$ 1,100).
