In healthy adults, x is approximately normally distributed with mean = 38 and standard deviation = 12 (see reference in Problem 25). What is the probability that
(a) x is less than 60
(b) x is greater than 16
(c) x is between 16 and 60
(d) x is more than 60 (This may indicate an infection, anemia, or another type of illness.)
