1. Your broker calls you with information about an investment opportunity. He informs you that the net profits from this investment are normally distributed and on average the net profit is $10,000. He urges you to make the investment since the standard deviation of the profits is $5,000. Based on this information, what is the probability that you will at least break even on the investment and not suffer a loss?
