After a 12-hour fast, the random variable x will have a distribution that is approximately normal with mean μ = 85 and standard deviation σ = 25. After 50 years of age, both the mean and standard deviation tend to increase. What is the probability that, for an adult (under 50 years old) after a 12-hour fast:
(a) x is more than 60?
