  1. Tim rings the church bell in his village every Sunday morning. The time that he spends ringing the bell may be modelled by a normal distribution with mean 7.5 minutes and standard deviation 1.6 minutes. Determine the probability that, on a particular Sunday morning, the time that Tim spends ringing the bell is:
    1. at most 10 minutes;
    2. more than 6 minutes;
    3. between 5 minutes and 10 minutes.
  2. June rings the same church bell for weekday weddings. The time that she spends, in minutes, ringing the bell may be modelled by the distribution \(\mathrm { N } \left( \mu , 2.4 ^ { 2 } \right)\). Given that 80 per cent of the times that she spends ringing the bell are less than 15 minutes, find the value of \(\mu\).
