A random sample of 36 junior managers in the offices of corporations in a large city center was taken in order to estimate average daily commuting times for all such managers. Suppose that the population times have a normal distribution with mean 90 minutes and standard deviation 24 minutes. What is the probability that the sample mean is outside the range "85 to 100 minutes"? 0.88 0.12 0.45 0.68 0.32
