Step 1
Let us assume X= the duration (how long it takes) to settle insurance claims.
Given that X follows a normal distribution with mean=28 and standard deviation =8
Step 2
a) The proportion of the duration is between 20 and 40 days old is:
P(20<X<40)
=P(20288<Z<40288)
=P(1<Z<1.5)
=0.7745
Answer (a) 0.7745 or 77.45%
Step 3
b) The proportion of the duration is less than 30 days old is:
P(X<30)
=P(Z<30288)
=P(Z<0.25)
=0.5987
Answer(b): 0.5987 or 59.87%
c) Let the number of days =K in which 75% of all claims are above
P(X>K)=0.75
P(Z>K288)=0.75
K288=0.674
K=28+8(0.674)
K=22.608
Answer(c): 22.608
