(a) The percent of customers that receive the service for half-price is Round to two decimal places as needed ) (b) The guaranteed tme limit isminutes (Round up to the nearest integer as needed )

Explanation / Answer

a)P(% of customers that recive the service at half price =P(X>20)=P(Z>(20-17)/2.5)

=P(Z>1.2) =11.51%

b)

for top 2 % ; critical z =2.05

therfore corresponding waiting time =mean+z*std deviation =17+2.05*2.5=22 minutes
