1. A company produces steel rods. The lengths of the steel rods are normally distributed with a mean of 163.8-cm and a standard deviation of 1.7-cm.

Find the probability that the length of a randomly selected steel rod is between 167.4-cm and 167.7-cm.
P(167.4-cm < X < 167.7-cm) = 

Enter your answer as a number accurate to 4 decimal places. Answers obtained using exact z-scores or z-scores rounded to 3 decimal places are accepted.

2. Let XX represent the full height of a certain species of tree. Assume that XX has a normal probability distribution with a mean of 233.9 ft and a standard deviation of 68.4 ft.
