Tom's commuting time from his residence in Carmel to the IUPUI campus has a normal distribution.  The standard deviation of the commuting time is 6 minutes.
17 The fraction of commutes that last less than 42 minutes is 0.25 (25%).  What is the mean commuting time?
a 48.4 minutes
b 47.2 minutes
c 46.0 minutes
d 44.9 minutes
Expert Solution
Step 1-Writing given data

Given that 

The Tom's commuting time from his residence in Carmel to the IUPUI campus has a normal distribution.

Standard deviation (σ) = 6 minutes

The fraction commutes that less than 42 minutes is 0.25 = P(x<42) = 0.25

 

We know that 

z=(x-μ)σ
