The following require calculating the probability of thespecified event based on an assumed probability distribution.Remember to consider whether the event involves discrete orcontinuous variables.

You are measuring height of vegetation in a grassland using aRobel pole and a 5 m. radius. Based on 100 random samples from thegrassland, you obtain a mean height of 0.6 m with a standarddeviation of 0.04 m2.

a) What distribution is the appropriate reference for thisproblem?

b) Ninety percent of the samples are expected to be under whatheight? Use you will need to use the appropriate command in R ofd, p, q, or r anduse the appropriate values as arguments. Use help(command) tofind out what these arguments are for your distribution,e.g., help(qbinom) will give you the help for thiscommand.
