Question 48

The random variable XXX follows a normal distribution such that X∼N(μ,σ2)X \sim \text{N}(\mu, \sigma^2)X∼N(μ,σ2).

Given that P(X<42)=0.8P(X < 42) = 0.8P(X<42)=0.8, find:

a.

P(X>42)P(X > 42)P(X>42)

[1]
b.

P(μ<X<42)P(\mu < X < 42)P(μ<X<42)

[2]
c.

P(X>μ∣X<42)P(X > \mu \mid X < 42)P(X>μ∣X<42)
