Question 1142850: The time it takes to assemble an electronic component is normally distributed with a mean of 17.2 minutes and a standard deviation of 3.1 minutes. The probability is 95.05% that it will take at least how long to assemble a component?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1 - 0.9505 = 0.0495
:
according to the table of z-values
:
0.0495 probability is associated with a z-value of -1.65
:
we know that
:
(X - 17.2)/3.1 = -1.65
:
X - 17.2 = 1.65 * 3.1 = -5.115
:
X = -5.115 + 17.2 = 12.085 is approximately 12.1
