The physical fitness of an athlete is often measured by how much oxygen the athlete takes in (which is recorded in milliliters per kilogram, ml/kg). The mean maximum oxygen uptake for elite athletes has been found to be 8080 with a standard deviation of 9.89.8. Assume that the distribution is approximately normal. (a)  What is the probability that an elite athlete has a maximum oxygen uptake of at least 5555 ml/kg? answer:  (b)  What is the probability that an elite athlete has a maximum oxygen uptake of 7575 ml/kg or lower? answer:  (c)  Consider someone with a maximum oxygen uptake of 2323 ml/kg. Is it likely that this person is an elite athlete? Write "YES" or "NO." answer:
