(b) What waiting time represents the first quartile? 1588 1688 1788 Days Click to view page 1 of the Standard Normal Table. Click to view page 2 of the Standard Normal Table (a) The waiting time that represents the 98th percentile is days. (Round to the nearest integer as needed.)

Explanation / Answer

Given that population mean = 1688

Population standard deviation = 209.6

Probability value = 0.98

By using Excel ( =invnorm(prob,mean,s.d))

The waiting time that represents the 98th percentile is

X = invnorm ( 0.98,1668,209.6)

X = 2118.465772

X = 2119 ( approx)

2119 days is the waiting time.
