Supplier	Number of deliveries	Number of late deliveries	Proportion of late deliveries
A	25	3	0.12
B	54	10	0.185
C	70	12	0.171

The mean proportion of late deliveries = ( 0.12 + 0.185 + 0.171 ) 3

The mean proportion of late deliveries = 0.159

The standard devation of the proportion of late deliveries =

The standard devation of the proportion of late deliveries = 0.03

The Z score of suppler A = ( p - ) SD

The Z score of suppler A = ( 0.12 - 0.159) 0.03

The Z score of suppler A = -1.3

The probability that supplier A delivers late = 0.1515

The Z score of suppler B = ( p - ) SD

The Z score of suppler B = ( 0.185 - 0.159) 0.03

The Z score of suppler B = 0.86

The probability that supplier B delivers late = 0.8051

The Z score of suppler C = ( p - ) SD

The Z score of suppler C = ( 0.171 - 0.159) 0.03

The Z score of suppler C = 0.4

The probability that supplier C delivers late = 0.6554
