The variable \(Y\) is normally distributed with mean \(\mu\) and standard deviation \(\sigma\), where \(4\sigma = 3\mu\) and \(\mu \neq 0\). Find the probability that a randomly chosen value of \(Y\) is positive.
Solution
We need to find \(P(Y > 0)\). Since \(Y\) is normally distributed with mean \(\mu\) and standard deviation \(\sigma\), we can standardize \(Y\) to a standard normal variable \(Z\) using the formula:
