Answer

There is a 10% chance of the mean time being 10.8 minutes or less.

Work Step by Step

Here n = 40, p = 0.10. Using Table V of the book, we have: z = -1.28 $σ_{x̅} = \frac{σ}{\sqrt n} = \frac{3.2}{40} = 0.51$ $z = \frac{x̅ - μ_{x̅}}{σ_{x̅}}$ $x = zσ_{x̅} + μ_{x̅} = -1.28 \times 3.2 + 11.4 = 10.8$
