Verify that the normal distribution can be used to approximate this situation? b. What is the mean and standard deviation of the number of people who read the breeze? c. What is the probability that at least 25 of the people he surveys read the blog?

LightCastle Partners, a Bangladeshi business management consultant, employs a large number of data analysts to analyze the data in a survey project. The time it takes for new data analysts to learn the analysis procedure is known to have a normal distribution with a mean of 99 minutes and a standard deviation of 14 minutes. a. What is the probability that the new data analysts will take more than 103 minutes to learn the analysis procedure? b. What is the probability that the new data analysts will take between 65 to 134 minutes to learn the analysis procedure? c. To maintain employee standars, LightCastle does not hire any analyst who fails to learn the process within a specified time. Therefore, what should be the specified time limit if they wish to retain at most 91.24% of new analysts?
