Question: Several construction projects in Hong Kong have variable durations for completion which are normally distributed with a mean of 40 months, and a standard deviation










Several construction projects in Hong Kong have variable durations for completion which are normally distributed with a mean of 40 months, and a standard deviation of 6 months (Q11 to Q14). The probability that a randomly selected project will be completed in less than 35.5 months Is: Refer to the Standard Normal Distribution Table below, if needed.
