IB Statistics and Probability Problem 014

The heights in a group of seven-year-old children are normally distributed with a mean of \(117\,cm\) and a standard deviation of \(5\,cm\). A child is chosen at random from this group.

  1. Find the probability that this child is taller than \(122.5\,cm\).
  2. The probability that this child is shorter than \(k\,cm\) is \(0.65\). Find the value of \(k\).
