Find a central height interval and a large-sample tail limit

Girl heights are normal with mean 155 cm and standard deviation 10 cm. Find

(i) the symmetric interval about the mean containing 40% of heights, marks

(ii) the probability exactly two of four randomly chosen girls exceed 170 cm, marks

(iii) the probability that the total height of n randomly chosen girls exceeds 150 n cm, for large n. marks
