The time taken, in minutes, by children to complete a mathematical ptszzle is assumed

to be normally distributed with mean p and standard deviation o. The puzzle can be
completed in less than24 minutes by 80% of the children. For 5Yo of the children it takes
more than 28 minutes to complete the pruzle.
