Suppose average monthly rainfall has been recorded for a particular city. It has been calculated that the mean monthly rainfall is 2.183 inches with a standard deviation of 0.424 inches. Assume that the city's mean monthly rainfall is normally distributed. Assuming that rainfall varies independently from one month to the next, and that this data is from one location of annual rainfall, determine the probability that this location gets fewer than 25 inches of rain next year.
