(a)  Normal distribution is a bell-shaped curve.

     In part (a), they want you determine the area under this specified curve 
     to the right from the raw mark of 72


     P = normalcfd(72, 9999, 69.7, 2.8) = 0.2057   (rounded).    ANSWER



(b)  In part (b), they want you determine the area under this specified curve 
     between the raw marks of 68 and 72


     P = normalcfd(68, 72, 69.7, 2.8) = 0.5224   (rounded).    ANSWER

Solved.
