The closest to the proportion of orders that are processed in less than 240 seconds is 17%

How to determine the closest proportion?

From the question, the given parameters about the distribution are

  • Mean value of the set of data = 276
  • Standard deviation value of the set of data = 38
  • The actual data value = 240

The z-score of the data value is calculated using the following formula

z = (x - mean value)/standard deviation

Substitute the known values in the above equation, so, we have the following representation

z = (240- 276)/38

Evaluate

z = -0.95

The closest proportion is then calculated as:

P(x < 240) = P(z < -0.95)

From the z table of probabilities, we have;

P(x < 240) = 0.17106

This gives

P(x < 240) = 17.106%

Approximate

P(x < 240) = 17%

Hence, the closest proportion is 17%
