The term "three fifths" is equivalent to $\frac{3}{5}$ .
If $\frac{3}{5}$ of the cast is singing, then we just have to find the rest of the fraction.
$1- \frac{3}{5} \\ \frac{5}{5}- \frac{3}{5} \\ \frac{2}{5}$

Well, 3/5 of the cast is singing and the whole group would be 5/5 so then that makes 5/5 minus 3/5 which equals <em><u>2/5</u></em> don't have to sing!

4.65% probability that a randomly selected customer takes more than 10 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

$\mu = 7.45, \sigma = 1.52$
