Suppose that the distribution of service time is fairly close to a normal distribution. Suppose there are two counters in a store, n₁ = 46 customers in the first line and n₂ = 52 customers in the second line. Find the probability that the difference between the mean service time for the shorter line X₁ and the mean service time for the longer one X₂ is more than 0.3 minutes. Assume that the service times for each customer can be regarded as independent random variables. Round your answer to two decimal places (e.g. 98.76). P = !arrow_forward
