The time that it takes a randomly selected job applicant to perform a certain task has a distribution that can be approximated by a normal distribution with a mean value of 150 sec and a standard deviation of 15 sec. The fastest 10% are to be given advanced training. What task times qualify individuals for such training? (Round the answer to one decimal place.)

If the task is performed in less than or equal to 130.8 seconds, then, the individuals qualify for advanced training.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 150 sec

Standard Deviation, σ = 15 sec

We are given that the distribution of time taken is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.10

P(X < x)  

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

Thus, if the task is performed in less than or equal to 130.8 seconds, then, the individuals qualify for advanced training.
