The mean monthly maximum temperatures for January in Canberra can be modelled by a Normal distribution with mean, μ = 25.95 OC and a standard deviation, σ = 1.13 OC. What is the probability that the average maximum temperature for a randomly selected January was more than 26.9 OC?  (4 dp)  What proportion of January months would you expect the average maximum temperature to be less than 24.9OC?  (4 dp)  What proportion of January months would you expect the average maximum temperature to be between 24.9OC and 26.9OC?
