Question
In Exercises 33 and 34, find the indicated probabilities. If convenient, use technology to find the probabilities.In a study of bumblebee bats, one of the worlds smallest mammals, theweights were normally distributed, with a mean of 2.0 grams and a standarddeviation of 0.25 gram. Find the probability that a randomly selected batfrom the study weighs(a) between 1.8 grams and 2.2 grams.(b) between 2.1 grams and 2.7 grams.(c) more than 2.3 grams.

Solution
The first step in solving 5 problem number 34 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 bumblebee bats, one of the worlds smallest mammals, theweights were normally distributed, with a mean of 2.0 grams and a standarddeviation of 0.25 gram. Find the probability that a randomly selected batfrom the study weighs(a) between 1.8 grams and 2.2 grams.(b) between 2.1 grams and 2.7 grams.(c) more than 2.3 grams.
