Time taken by a construction company to construct a flyover is a normal variate with mean 400 labour days and a standard deviation of 100 labour days. If the company promises to construct the flyover in 450 days or less and agree to pay a penalty of ₹ 10,000 for each labour day spent in excess of 450. What is the probability that the company takes at most 500 days to complete the flyover?

उत्तर
Let x be a normal variate with mean 400 labour days and standard deviation of 100 labour days
m = 400 and σ = 100
The construction work should be completed within 450 days.
The standard normal variate
`(x - mu)/6 = (x - 400)/100`
Personality for 1 labour day = ₹ 10,000
P(at most 500 days) = P(X ≤ 500 )
When x = 500
z = `(500 - 400)/100 = 100/100` = 1
P(X ≤ 500) = P(Z ≤ 1)
=P(`∞` < z < 0) – r – P(0 < z < 1)
= 0.5 + 0.3415
= 0.8413
