Question

Let XX represent the full height of a certain species of tree. Assume that XX has a normal probability distribution with a mean of 161 ft and a standard deviation of 7.1 ft.

A tree of this type grows in my backyard, and it stands 145.4 feet tall. Find the probability that the height of a randomly selected tree is as tall as mine or shorter.

P(X<145.4)P(X<145.4) = 

My neighbor also has a tree of this type growing in her backyard, but hers stands 150.4 feet tall. Find the probability that the full height of a randomly selected tree is at least as tall as hers.

P(X>150.4)P(X>150.4) = 

Enter your answers as decimals accurate to 3 decimal places.
