Answer: 0.0208

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The length of time to find a parking spot on the UW campus is normally distributed with a mean of 4.75 minutes and a standard deviation of 1.35 minutes.

Let x = time taken to find parking spot

The probability that a randomly selected driver takes less than 2 minutes to find a parking spot on the UW campus will be :

[tex]P(x<2)=P(\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}<\dfrac{2-4.75}{1.35})\\\\=P(Z<-2.037)\ \ \ [z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}]\\\\=1-P(Z<2.037)\\\\=1- 0.9792=0.0208\ \ \ \text{[By p-value table]}[/tex]

Hence, the probability than a randomly selected driver takes less than 2 minutes to find a parking spot on the UW campus.= 0.0208
