The time that it takes a randomly selected job applicant to perform a certain task has a distribution that can be approximated by a normal distribution with a mean value of 150 sec and a standard deviation of 25 sec. the fastest 10% are to be given advanced training. what task times qualify individuals for such training? (round the answer to one decimal place.)

seconds or less

214.5 seconds or less time will qualify individuals for such training

Step-by-step explanation:

given that the time that it takes a randomly selected job applicant to perform a certain task has a distribution that can be approximated by a normal distribution with a mean value of 150 sec and a standard deviation of 25 sec.

i.e. X the time that it takes a randomly selected job applicant to perform a certain task is N(150,25)

The fastest 10% are the ones who are above the 90th percentile

We know 90th percentile for Z std normal score is 1.28

Corresponding X score would be

Round off to one decimal

214.5 seconds or less time will qualify individuals for such training
