A fulfillment center processes customer orders, and the order processing time (in minutes) for an individual order is a random variable X with mean E[X]=8 minutes and standard deviation σ=3 minutes. During peak operations, the center processes a batch of n=64 independent orders. Let

The operations manager considers a batch to be “efficient” if the average processing time is less than 8.2 minutes. Approximate the probability that a randomly selected batch of 64 orders is efficient. Use the closest value in the standard normal cdf table above.

The coefficient of variation (CV) of a random variable is defined as the ratio between the standard deviation and the mean of the random variable. The CV measures the relative variability to compare the level of uncertainty to the expected return. Compute the CV of the net profit. Show four digits after the decimal point.

Suppose the company introduces a new monitoring system that flags delayed orders. The system correctly flags a delayed order with probability 0.9, and incorrectly flags a non-delayed order with probability 0.1. What is the probability that an order is flagged to be delayed, it is actually delayed? Compute four digits after the decimal point.
