Let X denote the number of minutes spent brushing his teeth, and let \mu be the mean and \sigma the standard deviation for this distribution.

\mathbb P(X

The z-score corresponding to this probability is approximately z=-0.2533, which means

\dfrac{1-\mu}\sigma=-0.2533\iff\mu-0.2533\sigma=1

Next, (note the sign change)

\mathbb P(X>2)=0.02\implies\mathbb P(X\le2)=\mathbb P\left(\dfrac{X-\mu}\sigma\le\dfrac{2-\mu}\sigma\right)=0.98

The corresponding z-score is approximately z=2.0538, so you have

\dfrac{2-\mu}\sigma=2.0538\iff\mu+2.0538\sigma=2

Solving the two equations for \mu and \sigma, you'll find that the mean is approximately \mu=1.1098 and the standard deviation is approximately \sigma=0.4334.
