To find the probability that Aria's commute will be longer than 64 minutes, we need to find the z-score for 64 minutes and then find the area under the normal distribution curve to the right of that z-score.
First, calculate the z-score:
z = (x - mean) / standard deviation
z = (64 - 60) / 3.5
z = 4 / 3.5
z = 1.143
Next, we find the probability using a standard normal distribution table or calculator. The probability that a z-score is greater than 1.143 is approximately 0.1292.
Therefore, the probability that Aria's commute will be longer than 64 minutes is approximately 0.129 or 12.9%.
When Aria commutes to work, the amount of time it takes her to arrive is normally distributed with a mean of 60 minutes and a standard deviation of 3.5 minutes. What is the probability that on a given day, her commute will be longer than 64 minutes, to the nearest thousandth?

is this right
I apologize for the error in my previous response. Let's correct this calculation.
Using the z-score formula:
z = (x - mean) / standard deviation
z = (64 - 60) / 3.5
z = 4 / 3.5
z = 1.143
Now, we need to find the probability that a z-score is greater than 1.143. Looking at the z-table or using a calculator, we find that the probability is approximately 0.1292.
Therefore, the correct probability that Aria's commute will be longer than 64 minutes is approximately 0.129 or 12.9%. Thank you for your attention, and I appreciate your understanding.
