If the cholesterol levels of a sample of 50 healthy adults from the region is taken, answer parts (a) through (d).

(a) What is the probability that the mean cholesterol level of the sample will be no more than 206? P(ybar < or equals206)= __(Round to four decimal places as needed.)

(b) What is the probability that the mean cholesterol level of the sample will be between 201 and 211? P(201 < ybar < y bar < 211) = __(Round to four decimal places as needed.)

(c) What is the probability that the mean cholesterol level of the sample will be less than 196? P(ybar<196) = __(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
