The time taken for a computer link to be made between the terminal in an executive's office and the computer at a remote factory site has a Normal distribution with a mean of 15 seconds and a standard deviation of 3 seconds. On 90% of the occasions, the computer link is made in less than ___
--------------
Find the z-value with a 90% left tail:
invNorm(0.90) = 1.2816
-----
Find the corresponding x-value:
x = zs+u
x = 1.2816*3 + 15 = 18.84 seconds
