The time needed to complete the final examination of MGSC 301 is normally distributed with a mean of 120 minutes and a standard deviation of 12 minutes.

a) What is the probability that a student will finish the examination in two hours or more?

Mean=2 hours = 120 minutes
Probability of exceeding mean = 50% as the normal distribution is symmetrical

Mean=M = 120 minutes
Standard deviation =s= 12 minutes
x= 120 minutes ...
