Determine the probabilities for X ≥ 81 assuming they are normally distributed with µ = 100 and σ2 = 36:
Mmm, let me see if I can remember this stuff.
sigma=6
so 81 is more than 3 standard deviations below the mean.
so p(X>=81)>99.7%
If you need more precision you can work out the z score
Z=(81-100)/6=-3.1666666
then look up a z score table to find the associated area. The tables are slighly diff and I don't know which version you are using. I used this one.

P(x>=81)=0.9987 or 99.87%
