Question 1103157: The amount of time required to assemble a component on a factory assembly line is normally distributed with a mean of 3.1 minutes and a standard deviation of 0.7 minute. Find the probability that a randomly selected employee will take the given amount of time to assemble the component. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)
(a) more than 3.8 minutes
(b) between 2.0 and 2.6 minutes
You can put this solution on YOUR website! z=(x-mean)/sd
a. (3.8-3.1)/0.7=1
P(z>1)=0.1587
b.(2-3.1)/0.7=-1.1/0.7=-1.57
(2.6-3.1)/0.7=-0.5/0.7=-0.71
P(z between -0.71 and -1.57)=0.1806 (corrected)
