The time taken to pluck the tea leaves in a certain plantation has a normal distribution with mean of 25 hours per week and a standard deviation of 4 hours. Calculate the probability that the tea leaves can be plucked at this plantation in the following period of time:
a) More than 30 hours
[3 marks]
b) Between 18 and 34 hours
[4 marks]
c) Between 25 and 34 hours
[4 marks]
"\\mu= 25,~\\sigma=4,"
