.Flight times An airline flies the same route at the same time each day. The flight time varies according to a Normal distribution with unknown mean and standard deviation. On of days, the flight takes more than an hour. On localid="1649758011998" of days, the flight lasts localid="1649758017692" minutes or more. Use this information to determine the mean and standard deviation of the flight time distribution
