Q2) Taking soil samples and testing the soil properties takes an engineer an average of 35.5 days per project. The duration varies and follows a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 1.9 days. When asked how long it will take the engineer to do the work on the next project, the engineer feels optimistic and says "34 days".
