  4. The farm also supplies plums to the supermarket. These plums have diameters that are normally distributed.
    It is found that \(60 \%\) of these plums have a diameter less than 5.9 cm .
    It is found that \(20 \%\) of these plums have a diameter greater than 6.1 cm .
    Find the mean and standard deviation of the diameter, in centimetres, of the plums supplied by the farm.
