6 The lengths of body feathers of a particular species of bird are modelled by a normal distribution. A researcher measures the lengths of a random sample of 600 body feathers from birds of this species and finds that 63 are less than 6 cm long and 155 are more than 12 cm long.
- Find estimates of the mean and standard deviation of the lengths of body feathers of birds of this species.
- In a random sample of 1000 body feathers from birds of this species, how many would the researcher expect to find with lengths more than 1 standard deviation from the mean?
