TypeLinear relationship μ = kσ

7 The times taken by a garage to fit a tow bar onto a car have a normal distribution with mean \(m\) hours and standard deviation 0.35 hours. It is found that \(95 \%\) of times taken are longer than 0.9 hours.
  1. Find the value of \(m\).
  2. On one day 4 cars have a tow bar fitted. Find the probability that none of them takes more than 2 hours to fit. The times in hours taken by another garage to fit a tow bar onto a car have the distribution \(\mathrm { N } \left( \mu , \sigma ^ { 2 } \right)\) where \(\mu = 3 \sigma\).
  3. Find the probability that it takes more than \(0.6 \mu\) hours to fit a tow bar onto a randomly chosen car at this garage.
