I need help with a and b 

Spray drift is a constant concern for pesticide applicators and agricultural producers. The inverse relationship between droplet size and drift potential is well known. The paper "Effects of 2,4-D Formulation and Quinclorac on Spray Droplet Size and Deposition" investigated the effects of herbicide formulation on spray atomization. A figure in a paper suggested that the normal distribution with mean 1050 µm and standard deviation 150 µm was a reasonable model for droplet size for water (the "control treatment") sprayed through a 760 ml/min nozzle.
