Suppose that the breaking strength of a rope (in pounds) is normally distributed, with a mean of 100 pounds and a standard deviation of 16. What is the probability that a certain rope will break before being subjected to 140 pounds? (You may need to use the standard normal distribution table. Round your answer to four decimal places.)
