The duration of flights is normally distributed with a mean of 6 hours and standard deviation of 45 minutes. what percentage of flights can be expected to take off between 7 and 8
Solution :
Given that ,
mean = = 6 hours ( 360 minutes)
standard deviation = = 45 minutes
7 = 420 minutes
8 = 480 minutes
P(420 < x < 480) = P[(420 - 360)/45 ) < (x - ) / < (480 - 360) / 45) ]
= P(1.33 < z < 2.67)
= P(z < 2.67) - P(z < 1.33)
Using z table,
= 0.9962 - 0.9082
= 0.0880
The percentage is = 8.80%
