The time taken by employees at Grace Floral shop to put a bouquet together has a normal distribution with mean 26.4 minutes and standard deviation .8 minutes.


(i) Find the probability that an employee chosen at random takes between 24.6 and 27.8 minutes to put a bouquet together. 

(ii) 12% of employees take more than t minutes to put a bouquet together. (ii) Find the value of t.

Table 3
AREAS IN TAIL OF THE NORMAL DISTRIBUTION
The function tabulated is 1 - +(u) where (u) is the cumulative distribution function of a
standardised Normal variable u. Thus 1 - (u)= S e-u/2 du is the probability that a
v2n
standa rdised Normal variable selected at random will be greater
(-=)
1- (u)
than a value of u
