An analysis of the amount of interest paid monthly by a bank's Visa cardholders reveals that the amount is normally distributed with a mean of 26 dollars and a standard deviation of 8 dollars.
A. What proportion of the bank's Visa cardholders pay more than 29 dollars in interest?
Proportion =
B. What proportion of the bank's Visa cardholders pay more than 35 dollars in interest?

C. What proportion of the bank's Visa cardholders pay less than 17 dollars in interest?
Proportion =
D. What interest payment is exceeded by only 19% of the bank's Visa cardholders?
