Suppose the time required for an auto shop to do a tune-up is normally distributed, with a mean of 102 minutes and a standard deviation of 18 minutes. what is the probability that a tune-up will take more than 2hrs? under 66 minutes?

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the time required for an auto shop to do a tune-up is normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - u)/s

Where

x = points scored by students

u = mean time

s = standard deviation

From the information given,

u = 102 minutes

s = 18 minutes

1) We want to find the probability that a tune-up will take more than 2hrs. It is expressed as

P(x > 120 minutes) = 1 - P(x ≤ 120)

For x = 120

z = (120 - 102)/18 = 1

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.8413

P(x > 120) = 1 - 0.8413 = 0.1587

2) We want to find the probability that a tune-up will take lesser than 66 minutes. It is expressed as

P(x < 66 minutes)

For x = 66

z = (66 - 102)/18 = - 2

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.02275

P(x < 66 minutes) = 0.02275
