The breaking strength (in pounds) of a certain new synthetic is normally distributed, with a mean of 145 and a variance of 4. The material is considered defective if the breaking strength is less than 140 pounds. What is the probability that a single, randomly selected piece of material will be defective? (You may need to use the standard normal distribution table. Round your answer to four decimal places.)
Z = (score-mean)/SD
Find table in the back of your statistics text labeled something like "areas under normal distribution" to find the proportion/probability related to the Z score.
