Question:
According to records kept by Compton County, the average (mean) amount of time that it takes for employees to be reimbursed for professional expenses incurred in service to the county is 36 days, with a standard deviation of 5 days. The distribution is normal. About 2 months ago, Marissa Lancaster attended a training conference for her job in the County Recreation Department. She filed for reimbursement of expenses that she incurred at the conference 42 days ago, but she has not received payment. What is the probability of receiving reimbursement within 42 days of filing? After 42 days? At this point, should Ms. Lancaster be apprehensive about receiving reimbursement?
