Question
In Exercises 33 and 34, find the indicated probabilities. If convenient, use technology to find the probabilities.In a study of migrating Sandhill Cranes, the distances traveled in a day werenormally distributed, with a mean of 267 kilometers and a standard deviationof 86 kilometers. Find the probability that the distance traveled in a day bya randomly selected Sandhill Crane from the study is(a) less than 200 kilometers.(b) between 250 and 350 kilometers.(c) greater than 500 kilometers.

Solution
The first step in solving 5 problem number 33 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: In Exercises 33 and 34, find the indicated probabilities. If convenient, use technology to find the probabilities.In a study of migrating Sandhill Cranes, the distances traveled in a day werenormally distributed, with a mean of 267 kilometers and a standard deviationof 86 kilometers. Find the probability that the distance traveled in a day bya randomly selected Sandhill Crane from the study is(a) less than 200 kilometers.(b) between 250 and 350 kilometers.(c) greater than 500 kilometers.
