Explanation / Answer

mean = 131 ,SD = 19.4

looking up a z- table

a)
z- value for top 25% waiting time = +0.6745

shortest time for top 25% waiting = mean + 0.6745 * SD

= 131 + .6745 * 19.4

= 144.08

b)
z-value for bottom 25% waiting time = - .6745

longest time for bottom 25% waiting = mean - 0.6745 * SD

= 131 - 0.6745 * 19.4

= 117.91
