Expert Solution
Step 1

Given Information:

The duration of a particular type of criminal trial is known to be normally distributed with mean of 21 days and a standard deviation of 7 days.

μ=21 and σ=7

(e) Forty three percent of all trials of this type are completed within how many days:

We are given the middle percentage as 43%

Remaining percentage is 100%-43%=57%=0.57

Each tail has an area of 0.572=0.285

This can be written as:

Px1<z<x2=0.43

Using Excel function "=NORM.S.INV(0.285)", z-score corresponding to probability 0.285 is obtained as -0.56805 -0.5681

Z-score is a measure which indicates how many standard deviations away, a data value is, from the mean. It is given by the formula:

z=x-μσ
