The masses of Fuji apples are normally distributed with a mean of 163 g and a standard deviation of 6.83 g. When Fuji apples are picked, they are classified as small, medium, large or extra large depending on their mass. Large apples have a mass of between 172 g and 183 g.
Determine the probability that a Fuji apple selected at random will be a large apple.
