QUESTION:

An obstetrician does ultrasound examinations on her patients between their 16th and 25th weeks of pregnancy to check the growth of each fetus. Let X equal the widest diameter of the fetal head, and let Y equal the length of the femur, both measurements in mm. Assume that X and Y have a bivariate normal distribution with \(\mu_X = 60.6, \sigma_X = 11.2, \mu_Y = 46.8, \sigma_Y = 8.4\), and \(\rho = 0.94\).

(a) Find P(40.5 < Y < 48.9).

(b) Find P(40.5 < Y < 48.9 | X = 68.6).
