Question

The accounting department at Weston Materials Incorporated, a national manufacturer of unattached garages, reports that it takes two construction workers a mean of 32 hours and a standard deviation of 2 hours to erect the Red Barn model. Assume the assembly times follow the normal distribution

.a-1. Determine the z-values for 29 and 34 hours. (A negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round z-value to 2 decimal places and your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

a-2. What percent of the garages take between 32 hours and 34 hours to erect? (Round z-value to 2 decimal places and your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

b. What percent of the garages take between 29 hours and 34 hours to erect? (Round z-value to 2 decimal places and your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

c. What percent of the garages take 28.7 hours or less to erect? (Round z-value to 2 decimal places and your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

d. Of the garages, 5% take how many hours or more to erect? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)

The accounting department at Weston Materials Incorporated, a national manufacturer of unattached garages, reports that it takes two construction workers a mean of 32 hours and a standard deviation of 2 hours to erect the Red Barn model. Assume the assembly times follow the normal distribution.

### a-1. Z-Value Calculation
Determine the z-values for 29 and 34 hours. 
(Note: A negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Round z-value to 2 decimal places and your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

- **29 hours corresponds to z:** [Input Field]
- **34 hours corresponds to z:** [Input Field]

### a-2. Percentage for 32 to 34 Hours
Calculate the percentage of garages that take between 32 hours and 34 hours to erect. 
(Round z-value to 2 decimal places and your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

- **Percentage:** 77.45%

### b. Percentage for 29 to 34 Hours
Calculate the percentage of garages that take between 29 hours and 34 hours to erect.
(Round z-value to 2 decimal places and your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

- **Percentage:** [Input Field] %

### c. Percentage for 28.7 Hours or Less
Calculate the percentage of garages that take 28.7 hours or less to erect.
(Round z-value to 2 decimal places and your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

- **Percentage:** 4.95%

### d. Identification of Outliers
Determine how many hours or more 5% of the garages take to erect.
(Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)

- **Hours:** [Input Field]

This exercise illustrates the application of the normal distribution to real-world scenarios by examining how data such as time for construction can be analyzed to determine percentages and identify operational efficiencies.
