The image contains a problem related to the distribution of study times for students in a library setting. Here's a transcription suitable for an educational website:

---

**Problem Context:**

Suppose that the amount of time students spend studying in the library in one sitting is normally distributed with a mean of 40 minutes and a standard deviation of 19 minutes. A researcher observed 13 students who entered the library to study. Round all answers to 4 decimal places where possible.

**Questions:**

a. What is the distribution of \( X \)?  
\( X \sim N(40, 19) \)  

b. What is the distribution of \( \bar{x} \)?  
\( \bar{x} \sim N(40, 5.2697) \)  

c. What is the distribution of \( \sum x \)?  
\( \sum x \sim N(520, 68.7805) \) *(Note: the text box contains \(\times\))  

d. If one randomly selected student is timed, find the probability that this student's time will be between 41 and 45 minutes.  
[Enter answer in textbox]

e. For the 13 students, find the probability that their average time studying is between 41 and 45 minutes.  
[Enter answer in textbox]

f. Find the probability that the randomly selected 13 students will have a total study time more than 507 minutes.  
[Enter answer in textbox]

g. For parts (e) and (f), is the assumption of normal necessary?  
Options: Yes [✓] No [ ]

h. The top 20% of the total study time for groups of 13 students will be given a sticker that says "Great dedication". What is the least total time that a group can study and still receive a sticker?  
[Enter answer in textbox] minutes
