Waiting time is defined as the time from when a patient enters the facility until seen by a physician. The study indicates the waiting time follows a normal distribution with a mean of 22 minutes and a standard deviation of 8 minutes.

Questions:

a. What fraction of the patients is seen in between 15 and 22 minutes?

b. What fraction is seen in less than 15 minutes?

c. What fraction is seen in more than 15 minutes but less than 32 minutes?

d. What fraction is seen in more than 25 minutes but less than 32 minutes?
