s2 normal distribution HELP

The random variable x has a normal distribution. The mean μ (where μ>0) and the variance 1/4μ^2.

(a) Find p(X>1.5μ)

I am having trouble with this question so far I have got...

P(z>2/μ)
anyone?

You divided by the variance, rather than the s.d.

I now get p(z>1), 1-p(z<1) which is 1-0.8413 which is 0.1587 which is the answer. Thanks for your help:smile:
