Answer:

99.7% of customers have to wait between 8 minutes to 30 minutes for their food.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Mean, μ = 18 minutes

Standard Deviation, σ = 4 minutes

We are given that the distribution of amount of time is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Empirical Formula:

  • Almost all the data lies within three standard deviation from the mean for a normally distributed data.
  • About 68% of data lies within one standard deviation from the mean.
  • About 95% of data lies within two standard deviations of the mean.
  • About 99.7% of data lies within three standard deviation of the mean.

Thus, 99.7% of the customers have to wait:

\mu -3\sigma = 18-3(4) = 6\\\mu +3\sigma = 18+3(4) = 30

Thus, 99.7% of customers have to wait between 8 minutes to 30 minutes for their food.

The difference between a number divided by 3 and 4 is 20
Rzqust [24]
Set the number to x.

\frac{x}{3}-\frac{x}{4}=20
\frac{4x}{12}-\frac{3x}{12}=20
\frac{x}{12}=20
x=240

Thus, the number is 240.
