    On any given day the number of leasable square feet of office space available in a small city is a normally distributed random variable within mean of 850,000 square feet and a standard deviation of 25,000 square feet.
    The number of leasable square feet available in another city is normally distributed with a mean of
    900,000 square feet and standard deviation of 25,000 square feet.
    a. Sketch the distribution of leasable office space for both cities on the same graph.
    b. What is the probability that the number of leasable square feet in the first city is less than 95,000 square feet?
    c. What is the probability that the amount available in the second city is less than 925,000?
