(19.22) The time that people require to react to a stimulus usually has a right-skewed distribution, as lack of attention or tiredness causes some lengthy reaction times. Reaction times for children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are more skewed, as their condition causes more frequent lack of attention. In one study, children with ADHD were asked to press the spacebar on a computer keyboard when any letter other thanXappeared on the screen. With 2 seconds between letters, the mean reaction time was 445 milliseconds (ms) and the standard deviation was 82 ms.

What is the approximate probability that the mean reaction time in a group of 150 ADHD children is greater than 450 ms? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)
