    We have the mean, μ = 20 and the standard deviation, σ = 4

    We want P (X<15)

    Standardizing gives:

    P (X<15) = P (Z< (15-20) / 4)

    P (X<15) = P (Z< - 1.25) ⇒ When the value of the z-score is negative, we will read the value of z<1.25 on the z-table then subtract the answer from 1

    P (X<15) = 1 - P (Z<1.25)

    P (X<15) = 1 - 0.8944

    P (X<15) = 0.1056

    the probability that pizza takes less than 15 minutes to be delivered is 0.1056 = 10.56%
