    Question

    To fix a microwave oven you need time X. The distribution of the random variable X has a mean of 1 hour with a standard deviation of 1 hour. Your company has 80 such microwaves. What then is the probability that the average repair job takes longer than 50 minutes if z is normally distributed by default?


    1. FALSE: P(z = -1.55)
    2. FALSE: P(z < -1,55)
    3. TRUE: 1 - P(z < -1.55)

    1. P(z = -1.55): Incorrect
    2. P(z < -1.55) Incorrect
    3. 1 - P(z < -1.55) Correct
