How would you represent the area to the left of three in a probability statement?

The life of Sunshine CD players is normally distributed with a mean of years and a standard deviation of years. A CD player is guaranteed for three years. We are interested in the length of time a CD player lasts. Find the probability that a CD player will break down during the guarantee period.
a. Sketch the situation. Label and scale the axes. Shade the region corresponding to the probability.

b. (Use zero for the minimum value of x.)
If the area to the right of in a normal distribution is , what is the area to the left of?
In a normal distribution, x = –2 and z = 6. This tells you that x = –2 is ____ standard deviations to the ____ (right or left) of the mean.
Suppose X ~ N(12, 6). What is the z-score of x = 2?
