Assume that the probability distribution function is a normal distribution function, with the parameter x = number of employees absent in a shift.

Average = expected value of x  = E(x) = Mu = 3

Function Ф[(x-3)/sigma] = kumulative probability function for normal distribution function.

1 )  probability that exactly 2 empoyees are absent:      Ф(2) - Ф(1)

               = 1/2  [ erf (2/√2) - erf(1/√2) ]

2)  probability that more than 4 are absent :  (x - Mu) / sigma  > 1
                  
                   = 1/2  [ 1 - erf(1/√2) ]
