a. According to a reputable health organization, a woman has low HDL (higher risk) if her HDL reading is less than 50 mg/dl. Find the probability that a woman randomly selected from the 1747 women has low HDL P(x< 50) = 0.4473 (Round to four decimal places as needed.) b. According to a reputable health organization, a woman has high HDL (lower risk) if her HDL reading is greater than 60 mg/dl. Find the probability that a woman randomly selected from the 1747 women has high HDL P(x> 60) = 0.2981 (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

Question
I don’t understand how to solve ‘(b)’. I’m using a TI-84 Plus calculator and need to know how to solve step by step.
![HDL is the "good" cholesterol. The higher a person's HDL level, the lower the person's risk of heart attack and stroke will be. In a study of 1747 women in their twenties, the women's HDL cholesterol levels are approximately normally distributed with mean 52
mg/dl and standard deviation 15.1 mg/dl. Complete parts (a) through (d) below.
