Medical research has concluded that people experience a common cold roughly two times per year. Assume that the time between colds is normally distributed with a mean of 160 days and a standard deviation of 40 days. i. What is the probability of going 200 or more days between colds? ii. What is the probability of getting a cold within 80 days of a previous cold?
