12. A student has a choice of two routes for travelling to school each day. Travel times for each
route may be assumed to be normally distributed, with parameters( in minutes) as shown in
the table, and the time taken for any journey on either route may be assumed to be independent
of the time for any other journey
Mean standard deviation
Route A 25 5
Route B 30 2

(a) Find the probability that ajourney on route A will take longer than 32 minutes [3]

(b) Two students set out from the same place at the same time to travel to school, one using
route A and the other using route B. Find the probability that the student using route B
wiil arrive first. Find also the probability that one of the students will arrive more than
5 minutes after the other
