Assume domestic airfares are normally distributed with a standard deviation of $100. Use Table 1 in Appendix B.

a. What is the probability that a domestic airfare is $545 or more (to 4 decimals)?

b. What is the probability that a domestic airfare is $265 or less (to 4 decimals)?

c. What if the probability that a domestic airfare is between $310 and $470 (to 4 decimals)?

d. What is the cost for the 3% highest domestic airfares? (rounded to nearest dollar)
