as from normal distribution ; z=(X-mean)/std deviation

1 a)
P(X>400)=1-P(X<400)=1-P(Z<(400-297)/74.42)=1-P(Z<1.3840)=1-0.9168=0.0832

b)P(200<X<340)=P(-1.3034<Z<0.5778)=0.7183-0.0962=0.6221

2)a)
P(X<10)=P(Z<(10-54.3)/14.5)=P(Z<-3.0552)=0.0011

b)P(40<X<60)=P(-0.9862<Z<0.3931)=0.6529-0.1620=0.4909

c) P(X>90)=1-P(X<90)=1-P(Z<2.4621)=1-0.9931=0.0069

d)P(50<X<70)=P(-0.2966<Z<1.0828)=0.8605-0.3834=0.4771

3)P(X<2.98)+P(X>3.02)=1-P(2.98<X<3.02)=1-P(-2.222<Z<2.222)=1-(0.9869-0.0131)=0.0263
