If the distribution is discrete you need to add together the probabilities of all the values between the two given ones, whereas if the distribution is continuous you will need to integrate the probability distribution function (pdf) between those limits.

The above process may require you to use numerical methods if the distribution is not readily integrable. For example, the Gaussian (Normal) distribution is one of the most common continuous pdfs, but it is not analytically integrable. You will need to work with tables that have been computed using numerical methods.

What information do you need to calculate a probability with a normal distribution?

Only the mean, because a normal distribution has a standard deviation equal to the square root of the mean.


How do you give the probability of a sum?

You find the event space for the random variable that is the required sum and then calculate the probabilities of each favourable outcome. In the simplest case it is a convolution of the probability distribution functions.


Can you use the formulas for a probability distribution to calculate parameters for a binomial probability distribution or can you just use the given formulas for a binomial probability distribution?

This depends on what information you have. If you know the success probability and the total number of observations, you can use the given formulas. Most of the time, this is the case. If you have data or experience which allow you to estimate the parameters, it may sometimes happen that you work like this. This mostly happens when n is very large and p very small which results in an approximation with the Poisson distribution.


The probability density function has what value in the interval between 20 and 28?

I think you left off some important information. Perhaps you can supply this information, to obtain assistance. To calculate the probability or the chance of occurrence between two values, we calculate: Pr{a < X < b} = F(b) - F(a) where F(x) = cumulative probability distribution. The distribution requires certain known parameters. In the case of the Normal distribution, the mean and standard deviation are parameters. In your particular case, a = 20 and b = 28.
