A study involves randomly assigning patients to three different treatments taking into account that the response could be influenced by exposure to a risk factor. What type of experimental procedure should be used?

In a population, a normal (perfect Gaussian) variable Y has a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. What is the probability of observing a value greater than 129.4?
