Okay, my prior answer got deleted for no work, apparently.
I'll re-post it though.
That word problem translates to:
Answer:
If the task is performed in less than or equal to 130.8 seconds, then, the individuals qualify for advanced training.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following information in the question:
Mean, μ = 150 sec
Standard Deviation, σ = 15 sec
We are given that the distribution of time taken is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.
Formula:

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.10
P(X < x)
Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,
Thus, if the task is performed in less than or equal to 130.8 seconds, then, the individuals qualify for advanced training.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Compare the given equation to ...
y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)
You find that k = -5, m = 1/2, h = -12.
The point is (h, k) = (-12, 5). The slope is m = 1/2.
