Answer:

0.945200708

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the probability that a person selected at random would live less than 65.

To solve this problem, what we need to do is to first calculate the z-score.

Mathematically, z = (x-mean)/standard deviation

According to the question, the mean is 53 years and the standard deviation is 7.5

Substituting these values in the z-score equation:

Z-score = (65-53)/7.5 = 12/7.5 = 1.6

We proceed to use the z-score table to obtain the probability. Using the table, z score of 1.6 corresponds to a probability of

0.945200708

Sales aer in multipules of 1000
normally the output is y and input is x

input would be number of months
output would be the sales

so

subsitute 40 for x

y=0.94*(40)+12.5
y=37.6+12.5
y=50.1
this is in thousands
times 1000

$50,100 is the sales after 40 months
