[Take ]

is a square. is the midpoint of and is the midpoint of . A point is selected at random in the square. Calculate the probability that it lies in the triangle .

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