Well, it would be helpful if you listened to people who post and take their suggestions i.e. type the questions up. You'll get more replies that way because people who don't have the paper (the majority) will be able to help you.

From statistical tables

Φ\Phi(1.800) = 1 - 0.0359
Φ\Phi(1.200) = 1 - 0.1151

So

66 = μ\mu - 1.800σ\sigma
81 = μ\mu + 1.200σ\sigma

Solve these simultaneous equations to find σ\sigma and μ\mu.

6(e)
It follows from

P(X < μ\mu + a) = 0.975
Φ\Phi(1.960) = 0.975

that a = 1.960σ\sigma.
