The Attempt at a Solution
This is pretty simple to use in R if one knew how to. I get a ghastly incorrect answer. Dividing the number of items above 130 by the total number of items yields 0.022, and the above yields something like 0.4e-5 if I use the mean and stdev from the data set. So, what µ and σ are they? They can't be the ones from the data set.
