Answer:

10.56%

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Use the z formula  

The z-formula is

[tex]z=\frac{x-mean}{standard | deviation}[/tex]

[tex]z=\frac{3-4}{0.8} \\\\z=\frac{-1}{0.8} \\\\=-1.25[/tex]

P(z < -1.25)  

Step 2: Use a p chart to find -1.25

-1.25 on a p chart is .1056

there is a 10.56% chance that a CD will last less than 3 years.

The answer is 10.56%
