The probability is 0.4633.

Work Step by Step

The probability is calculated as follows: \[\begin{align} & =P\left( X\ge 0 \right) \\ & =P\left( \frac{X-\mu }{\sigma }\ge \frac{0-\left( -1 \right)}{10.9} \right) \\ & =P\left( Z\ge 0.092 \right) \\ \end{align}\] To obtain the z-score, Minitab is used to find the area. The steps to be followed are provided below: Step 1: Go to the MINITAB worksheet. Step 2: Select Graph and click Probability Distribution. Step 3: Go to View Probability” Step 4: Double click on graph and go to shaded area. Step 5: Select X-value and go to right tail. Step 6: Click OK. The obtained distribution plot is as follows:
