Temperatures of healthy humans, Basic Statistics

Temperatures of healthy humans

Shoemaker took temperatures from 130 healthy people. Suppose we assume that the temperatures of healthy humans is approximately normal with a mean of 98.6 degrees and a standard deviation of .8 degrees.

a) If a healthy person is selected at random, what is the probability that the person has a temperature above 99.0 degrees?

b) What is the 95th percentile for the body temperatures of healthy humans?
