Hi, i have come across a problem in a june 2001 s1 paper.

The continuous random variable Y is normally distributed with the mean 100 and variance 256.

(a) Find P(Y-80)

(b) find k such that P(100-k (- or =)Y(- or =) 100+k)

i can do part (a), but i have never seen a question like (b) would u be able to help?

@rudezartist Yes - check out my tutorials and past paper worked solutions. There is a similar question on one of the papers I have done.
