A hint to get started
Infer a normal standard deviation from symmetric tail areas
A Kranji farm sells chickens and ducks.
(a) Chicken mass has mean 2.5 kg and standard deviation 0.4 kg. If the probability that the mean of a large sample of chickens exceeds 2.45 kg is greater than 0.95, find the least . marks
(b) Duck mass kg is normal with mean 2.7 and standard deviation . Ducks cost $4 per kg. (i) Given , show that to 3s.f. marks (ii) A housewife brings $ 50. Find the probability she has less than $27.50 after buying2 ducks. marks (iii) For 4 randomly chosen ducks, find the probability the most expensive costs less than $ 11. marks

The two cutoffs straddle the normal mean symmetrically, so the outside tails are equal.
