Finding probability of prescription orders
Pharmacies continually monitor their prescription filling
process. A local pharmacy has noted that the time to fill a prescription for a
generic antibiotic is normally distributed, with a mean of 13.3 minutes and a
standard deviation of 2.8 minutes.
a. Find the
probability that a prescription for a generic antibiotic takes at least 10
minutes to fill.
b. Find the
probability that the prescription for a generic antibiotic takes between 12 and
15 minutes to fill.
c. The
slowest 20% of prescriptions fills result in a special discount to the
customer. How long must a prescription fill for a generic antibiotic take in
order to qualify for this discount?
