Assume that the distribution of the amounts spent follows places and your final answers to 2 decimal places.) on with a standard deviation of $500. (Round z-score computation to 2 decimal a. What percent of the adults spend more than $2.500 per year on reading and entertainment? Percent b. What percent spend between $2,500 and $3,050 per year on reading and entertainment? Percent c. What percent spend less than $1,275 per year on reading and entertainment? Percent References Worksheet Exercise 7-52 (LOT-3)

Explanation / Answer

Solution :

Given that mean ? = 2075 , standard deviation ? = 500


a. P(x > 2500) = P((x - ?)/? > (2500 - 2075)/500)

= P(Z > 0.85)

= 0.1977

= 19.77%

b. P(2500 < x < 3050) = P((x - ?)/? < Z < (x - ?)/?)

= P((2500 - 2075)/500 < Z < (3050 - 2075)/500)

= P(0.85 < Z < 1.95)

= 0.1721

= 17.21%

c. P(x < 1275) = P((x - ?)/? < (1275 - 2075)/500)

= P(z < -1.60)

= 0.0548

= 5.48%
