Hey, at least we're not being asked to calculate the probability of a unicorn appearing. That would be truly impossible!

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. Maybe B) 0.488% is the right answer? I'll need to double-check the normal distribution tables.

So, the probability that X > 0 and Y < 1.96 is 0.975 * 0.025 = 0.024375, which is closest to 0.49%.

I agree, since X and Y are uncorrelated, the probability is simply the product of their individual probabilities.
