Assume that the height of a type of tree has a normal probability distribution with a mean of 85.9 ft and a standard deviation of 9.4 ft. A tree of this type grows in my backyard and it stands 59.6 feet tall. Find the probability that the height of a randomly selected tree is as tall as mine or shorter. My neighbor also has a tree of this type growing in her backyard, but hers stands 74.6 feet tall. Find the probability that the full height of a randomly selected tree is at least as tall as hers. Enter your answers as decimals accurate to 3 decimal places.
