A national park houses a large number of tall trees. The heights of the trees are normally distributed with mean of 45 metres and a standard deviation of 9 metres. One tree is selected at random from the park. Given that this tree is at least 55 metres, find the probability that it is taller than 65 metres.

Use the standard values:
