Normally distrbution with Probability

[QUOTE="Askhwhelp, post: 4595476, member: 490945"] Assume the length of waiting at supermarket is approximately normally distributed with mean 6 minutes and standard deviation 1.5 minutes. (1) Fund the probability that waiting time is longer than 8 minutes My way is P(z > (8-6)/1.5) = P(z > 4/3) = .0918 (2) What length of the waiting time constitutes the 99th percentile ($Φ_.99$)? My way is For 99th percentile, find p(z > 2.327) = .01 find (y-6)/1.5 = 2.237 <=> y = 9.4905. For 0th percentile, y should be negative infinity. However, it does not make sense since we talk about time here. We should take 0 instead. The waiting time length is between 0 and 9.4905 (3) Find probability that waiting time lasted longer than 6 minutes given that it lasted longer than 5 minutes My way is P(Y>6|Y>5) = P(Y>6,Y>5)/P(Y>5) = P(Y>6)/P(Y>5) = P(z > (6-6)/1.5)/P(z > (5-6)/1.5) = P(z > 0) = P(z > -2/3) = .5/(1-.2514)=.67. Could anyone please check (1), (2), (3) for me? [/QUOTE]
