Exhibit 6-1. You are planning a May camping trip to Denali National Park in Alaska and want to make sure your sleeping bag is warm enough. The average low temperature in the park for May follows a normal distribution with a mean of 32°F and a standard deviation of 8°F.

Refer to Exhibit 6-1. One sleeping bag you are considering advertises that it is good for temperatures down to 25°F. What is the probability that this bag will be warm enough on a randomly selected May night at the park?
