    Given a mean = 1300 and a Ď = 200, we can calculate that the lower bound of 1000 is (1000 - 1300) / 200 = - 1.5 standard deviations below the mean. The upper bound is (1437 - 1300) / 200 = 0.685 standard deviations from the mean. Using the cumulative distribution function, we can calculate that the probability a randomly chosen steer lies on the interval [1000, 1437] is CDF (0.685) - CDF (-1.5) = 0.68652083824480004 p = 0.6865
