Can some one me with these questions

Arace is 10 kilometers long. markers will be placed at the beginning and end of the race course and at each 500 meter mark. how many markers are needed to mark the course for the race?

The accompanying normal probability plot was constructed from a sample of 30 readings on tension for mesh screens behind the surface of video display tubes used in computer monitors. does it appear plausible that the tension distribution is normal? the given probability is has a significant downward curve, so it is plausible that the tension distribution is normal. the given probability is has a significant downward curve, so it is not plausible that the tension distribution is normal. the given probability is quite linear, so it is plausible that the tension distribution is normal. the given probability is has a significant upward curve, so it is not plausible that the tension distribution is normal. the given probability is quite linear, so it is not plausible that the tension distribution is normal.
