6) During the month of July, the average temperatures in Tampa is 94⁰. The standard
deviation is 6⁰. Assume the variable is normally distributed. What is the probability for a
randomly selected day in July that the temperature will be between 90⁰ and 94⁰?

Assume normal distribution.
9) The average salary for a teacher in a large city is $47,000. The standard deviation
is $4090. The salaries are normally distributed. What is the probability that a professor
