Standard Deviation Display

A consumer price analyst claims that prices for liquid crystal display (LCD) computer monitors are normally distributed, with a mean of P7,600 and a standard deviation of P1,920. What is the probability that a randomly selected LCD computer monitor has a price greater than P7,700?
