Answer:

22 and 26 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Mean, m = 24

Standard deviation, s = 2

The Zscore representing the middle 68% falls within 1 standard deviation of the mean ;

68% : (-1 < z < 1)

From the Z standardization equation ;

Z = (x - m) / s

Zs = x - m

x = Zs + m

For Z = - 1 ; x = (-1*2 + 24) = - 2 + 24 = 22

For Z = 1 ; x = (1*2 + 24) = 2 + 24 = 26

The middle 68% of all people finish the quiz somewhere between 22 and 26 minutes
