    a. 222.8

    b. 0.002591

    c. 0.2785

    d. P (X>1290) = 0 as 1290 lies outside.

    e. 0.142487

    Explanation:

    a) std deviation = (b-a) / (12) 1/2 = (1025-253) / (12) 1/2 = 222.8572

    b) as area = 1

    (1/2) * height * (1025-253) = 1

    height of this distribution = 2 / (1025-253) = 0.002591

    c) P (X>810) = (1025-810) / (1025-253) = 0.2785

    d) P (X>1290) = 0 as 1290 lies outside.

    e) P (370
