Question

*o use the values on the attached table to solve problems related
to normal distribution.

In a supermarket, the weight of apples has an approximately normal distribution with the mean of 190 gram and the standard deviation of 12 gram; the weight of the pears also has an approximately normal distribution with the mean of 210 gram and the standard deviation of 15 gram.
(a) When an apple and a pear are randomly selected, what is the probability that the apple weights more than the pear?
(b) If Tom randomly buys 30 apples and 20 pears, what is the probability that their total weight exceeds 10kg (10kg = 10, 000g)?
