    Given:

    μ = 8.4 hours, the population mean

    σ = 1.8 hours, the population std. deviation

    The random variable to be tested is x = 8.7 hours

    A sample size of 40 (> 30) is large enough for testing against the normal distribution.

    Calculate the z-score.

    z = (x - μ) / σ = (8.7 - 8.4) / 1.8 = 0.1667

    From standard table, obtain

    P (x < = 8.7) = 0.5662

    Therefore

    P (x>8.7) = 1 - 0.5662 = 0.4338 or 43%

    Answer: 43%
