Chapter 3: Problem 30
A certain job is completed in three steps in series. The means and standard deviations for the steps are (in minutes): $$ \begin{array}{ccc} \hline \text { Step } & \text { Mean } & \text { Standard Deviation } \\ \hline 1 & 17 & 2 \\ 2 & 13 & 1 \\ 3 & 13 & 2 \\ \hline \end{array} $$Assuming independent steps and normal distributions, compute the probability that the job will take less than 40 minutes to complete.
