Question

A bus heading to university is always scheduled to arrive at a certain bus stop at 7:30am. The difference between the actual arrival time and 7:30am is normally distributed with mean 0 and standard deviation of 2 minutes.
A student who always has a class at 8am decided to be at the bus stop at 7:28am in order to try to guarantee catching this bus.

What is the probability that the student will catch the bus on any particular day?
Probability =

What is the probability that the student will catch the bus at least 4 times out of 5 days?

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
