Finding standard deviation of normal distribution

Reference no: EM1392459

A work-study engineer times a certain operation, and discovers that the average time it takes is 10 minutes, but on 15% of occasions it takes more than 13 minutes. Assuming that times for the operation follow a normal distribution, what is its standard deviation?
