1.
X=is the value we're interested in (task completion time)
μ =mean of the distribution
σ = standard deviation

a. z= (x- μ)/ σ = (50-45)/10= 5/10= 0.5

We'll use a standard normal distribution table or calculator to find the probability corresponding
to a z-score of 0.5. From the table or calculator, we find that the probability of obtaining a value
greater than 0.5 is approximately 0.3085.

b. z= (x- μ)/ σ = (35-45)/10=-1

The probability of obtaining a value less than or equal to -1 is approximately 0.1587. So, the
probability that the reading will be exceptionally good (completion time of 35 or less) is
approximately 0.1587 or 15.87 %.

2. Use z-score formula

a. x=50
z= (x- μ)/ σ = (50-250)/100= -2
Using the standard normal distribution table or calculator, the probability of obtaining a value
less than -2 is approximately 0.0228. So, the probability that the next delivery call will be less
than 50 km is approximately 0.0228 or 2.28 % .

b. for x= 150
z= (x- μ)/ σ = (150-250)/100= -1
for x=350
z= (x- μ)/ σ = (150-250)/100= -1
Using the standard normal distribution table or calculator, the probability of obtaining a value
less than -1 is approximately 0.1587, and the probability of obtaining a value less than 1 is
approximately 0.8413. So, the probability that the next delivery call will be between 150 and 350
km is 0.8413 − 0.1587 = 0.6826 0.8413−0.1587=0.6826 or 68.26 % .

c. x=400
z= (x- μ)/ σ = (400-250)/100= 1.5
Using the standard normal distribution table or calculator, the probability of obtaining a value
greater than 1.5 is approximately 0.0668. So, the probability that delivery calls will not be
serviced is approximately 0.0668 or 6.68 %.
3. μ= 80
σ = 6.6

a. for x= 65
z= (x- μ)/ σ = (65-80)/6.6= -2.27
Using the standard normal distribution table or calculator, the probability of obtaining a value
greater than -2.27 (because we want the probability of passing, not failing) is approximately
0.988. So, the probability that an applicant selected at random passed the test is approximately
0.988 or 98.8 %.

b.
0.6745 = (x-80)/6.6
x-80= (0.6745)(6.6)
x= ( 0.6745)(6.6)+80
x= 84.44
So, the least score that a student must obtain to qualify for the scholarship is approximately
84.44.

c. for x=65
z= (x- μ)/ σ = (65-80)/6.6= -2.27
Using the cumulative distribution function, the proportion of students who passed the test is
approximately 0.988 0.988. So, the number of students who failed is 500×(1−0.988)≈6.
Therefore, approximately 6 students failed the test.
