Use the following normal distribution for X

Let X be the volume, in millilitres, recorded for a filled container

The distribution is \(X\sim N\left(247,400\right)\)

Event \(A\) is \(207<X<267\)

Event \(B\) is \(187<X<287\)

The required conditional probability is \(\Pr(A\mid B)\)

(a)1 mark

Select the interval containing values that satisfy both events

(b)1 mark

Find the probability for the event after the vertical bar
