The 2.88 minutes have to reduce the standard deviation to increase the efficiency.
According to the statement
we have given that the duration of the trip is 2 hours and 15 minutes. And we have to how much standard deviation be reduced to increase the operational efficiency.
So, For this purpose, we know that the
Let X be the time taken to reach the resort. Then it is given that the
N (μ , σ).
Here μ is 2 hours then
μ = 2*60 = 120 minutes.
And
Let σ be the reduced standard deviation such that new distributions becomes N (μ , σ)
Then P ( x <135)
here 135 is the minute format of 2 hours and 15 min.
So,
P ( x <135) = 0.95
And
P [ (x -120 / σ) < (135 -120 / σ)] = 0.95
P [ Z < ( 15 / σ)] = 0.95
And after solving it the
σ = 9.22 min.
i.e. 12 - 9.22 = 2.88 min.
So, The 2.88 minutes have to reduce the standard deviation to increase the efficiency.

Question:
The time it takes for a ferry to reach a summer resort from the mainland is Normally distributed with mean 2 hours and standard deviation 12 minutes. The advertised duration of the trip is 2 hours and 15 minutes. The company operating the ferry would like to increase its operational efficiency by reducing the standard deviation so that they are on time 95% of the time. How much do they have to reduce the standard deviation

A sample of any given pure element is composed only of the atoms characteristic of that element, and the atoms of each element are unique. For example, the atoms that constitute carbon are different from those that make up iron, which are in turn different from those of gold. Every element is designated by a unique symbol consisting of one, two, or three letters arising from either the current element name or its original (often Latin) name. For example, the symbols for carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are simply C, H, and O, respectively. The symbol for iron is Fe, from its original Latin name ferrum. The fundamental principle of the science of chemistry is that the atoms of different elements can combine with one another to form chemical compounds. Methane, for example, which is formed from the elements carbon and hydrogen in the ratio four hydrogen atoms for each carbon atom, is known to contain distinct CH4 molecules. The formula of a compound—such as CH4—indicates the types of atoms present, with subscripts representing the relative numbers of atoms (although the numeral 1 is never written).<span /></span></span><span><span>

Because one is put into fraction form. Therefore the one in fraction form is going to be smaller. 5*4=20 and 5*1/4=1.25. I hope my answer helped you.
Um I dont know the specific expression. But I think one of them would be 6p + 1p = 7p. I know its really simple but its kinda right. Hope I can help. Sorry If im wrong
