please do all parts!!!

The size of fish is very important to commercial fishing. A study conducted in 2012 found the length of
Atlantic cod caught in nets in Karlskrona to have a mean of 49.9 cm and a standard deviation of 3.74 cm
(Ovegard, Berndt & Lunneryd, 2012). Assume the length of fish is normally distributed. Round the
probabilities to four decimal places. It is possible with rounding for a probability to be 0.0000.
a.) Find the probability that an Atlantic cod has a length that is less than 55.58 cm.
b.) Find the probability that an Atlantic cod has a length that is between 40.78 and 55.58 cm.
c.) Find the probability that an Atlantic cod has a length that is at least 55.51 cm.
d.) Is a length of 55.51 cm unusually long for an Atlantic cod? Why or why not?
O yes, since the probability of having a length at least that high is less than or equal to 0.05
yes, since the probability of having a length at the most that value is less than or equal to 0.05
O no, since the probability of having a length at least that high is less than or equal to 0.05
O no, since the probability of having a length at the most that value is less than or equal to 0.05
O yes, since the probability of having a length at least that high is greater than 0.05
O yes, since the probability of having a length at the most that value is greater than 0.05
O no, since the probability of having a length at least that high is greater than 0.05
O no, since the probability of having a length at the most that value is greater than 0.05
e.) What lengths are 68% of all Atlantic cod shorter than? Put an answer rounded to two decimal places in
the first box and the correct units in the second box.
