b. A psychological study determined that the typical worker needs five minutes to adjust to
their surroundings before beginning their duties. What percent of this business' employees
arrive early enough to make this adjustment?

to be on time to work. If the mean arrival time of employees does not change, what
standard deviation would the arrival times need to ensure virtually all employees are on
time to work?
