The mean age of CEO is 56 years. If we know that this variable is normally distributed with a standard deviation of four years, then approximately what percentage of all CEOs are younger than 48 years old?

Solution
mean = 56
std dev = 4
For x = 48, the z-value z = (48 - 56) / 4 = 2
Hence P(x < 48) = P(z < 2) = [area to the left of 2.0] = 0.9772 = 97.72%
