A hint to get started

Allow an interval endpoint on either side of the fixed bound

X is normally distributed with mean 10 and standard deviation 2.

Find P(9<X<13)P(9<X<13) and P(X<12)P(X<12).

Find the possible values of a if the probability that X lies between a and 12 is 0.15.

If three values are taken at random, find the probability that two are less than 12 and the other greater than 12.

“Between a and 12” does not specify which endpoint is larger.
