The amounts of time per workout an athlete uses a stairclimber are normally distributed, with a mean of 20 minutes and a standard deviation of 7 minutes. Find the probability that a randomly selected athlete uses a stairclimber for (a) less than 17 minutes, (b) between 20 and 27 minutes, and (c) more than 30 minutes.
