Answer:
57.93% probability that a trip will take at least 35 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
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 problem, we have that:
What is the probability that a trip will take at least 35 minutes
This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 35. So
has a pvalue of 0.4207
1 - 0.4207 = 0.5793
57.93% probability that a trip will take at least 35 minutes.
The interval 
corresponds to the part of the distribution lying within 2 standard deviations of the mean (since 500-2*100=300 and 500+2*100=700). The empirical rule states that approximately 95% of the distribution is expected to fall in this range.
