Monthly rainfalls in a locality are independent and identically distributed normal variates with mean 20 cm and variance 12 cm2. Determine the probability that 220 cm of rainfall occurs over a period of 6 months. What is the probability of having less than 18 cm rainfall each month for a period of 6 months?
