Pizza delivery times at Pizza Time are normally distributed with a mean time of 27 minutes and a standard deviation of 3 minutes. Approximately what percent of pizzas are delivered between 24 and 30 minutes?

Respuesta :

68% of the data will be within one standard deviation of the mean, so 68% of delivery times will be at least 27-3=24 and at most 27+3=30.

Answer: There is 34.13% of pizzas are delivered between 24 and 30 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Mean time = 27 minutes

Standard deviation = 3 minutes

We need to find the percentage of pizzas are delivered between 24 and 30 minutes.

Since it is normally distributed.

So, it becomes,

[tex]P(24<X<30)[/tex]

As we know that [tex]Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

so, we will substitute it :

[tex]P(\frac{24-27}{3}<\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{30-27}{3})\\\\=P(-1<Z<1)\\\\=2\times P(0<Z<1)=0.34134\\\\=0.34134\times 100=34.134\%[/tex]

Hence, there is 34.13% of pizzas are delivered between 24 and 30 minutes.
