T20 Match Duration 443898
1. **State the problem:** We are given that the duration of a T20 cricket match is normally distributed with mean $\mu = 195$ minutes and standard deviation $\sigma = 9$ minutes. We want to find the probability that the match will be completed within 3.5 hours.
2. **Convert hours to minutes:** Since the mean and standard deviation are in minutes, convert 3.5 hours to minutes:
$$3.5 \text{ hours} = 3.5 \times 60 = 210 \text{ minutes}$$
3. **Use the normal distribution formula:** The probability that the match duration $X$ is less than or equal to 210 minutes is:
$$P(X \leq 210)$$
4. **Standardize the variable:** Convert $X$ to the standard normal variable $Z$ using:
$$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma} = \frac{210 - 195}{9} = \frac{15}{9} = 1.67$$
5. **Find the probability from the standard normal distribution:** Using standard normal distribution tables or a calculator,
$$P(Z \leq 1.67) \approx 0.9525$$
6. **Interpretation:** There is approximately a 95.25% chance that tomorrow's T20 cricket match will be completed within 3.5 hours.
**Final answer:**
$$\boxed{0.9525}$$
