The marketing manager of the company reviews the delivery time of all orders in the last month and finds that the delivery time follows a normal distribution with mean delivery time of 77.5 minutes and standard deviation of 10.5 minutes.

(b) The marketing manager wants to adjust the promise time from 90 minutes to a new level: K minutes, so that only 0.3% of the orders would arrive after K minutes. What should the value of K be?
