Given Information:

John's mean monthly commission = μ = $10,000

Standard deviation of monthly commission = σ =  $2,000

Answer:

P(9,000 < X < 11,000) = 0.383\\\\P(9,000 < X < 11,000) = 38.3 \%

The probability that John's commission from the jewelry store is  between $9,000 and $11,000 is 38.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

What is Normal Distribution?

We are given a Normal Distribution, which is a continuous probability distribution and is symmetrical around the mean. The shape of this distribution is like a bell curve and most of the data is clustered around the mean. The area under this bell shaped curve represents the probability.  

We want to find out the probability that John's commission from the jewelry store is  between $9,000 and $11,000?

P(9,000 < X < 11,000) = P( \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} < Z < \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} )\\\\P(9,000 < X < 11,000) = P( \frac{9,000 - 10,000}{2,000} < Z < \frac{11,000 - 10,000}{2,000} )\\\\P(9,000 < X < 11,000) = P( \frac{-1,000}{2,000} < Z < \frac{1,000}{2,000} )\\\\P(9,000 < X < 11,000) = P( -0.5 < Z < 0.5 )\\\\P(9,000 < X < 11,000) = P( Z < 0.5 ) - P( Z < -0.5 ) \\\\

The z-score corresponding to 0.50 is 0.6915

The z-score corresponding to -0.50 is 0.3085

P(9,000 < X < 11,000) = 0.6915 - 0.3085 \\\\P(9,000 < X < 11,000) = 0.383\\\\P(9,000 < X < 11,000) = 38.3 \%

Therefore, the probability that John's commission from the jewelry store is  between $9,000 and $11,000 is 38.3%

How to use z-table?

Step 1:

In the z-table, find the two-digit number on the left side corresponding to your z-score. (e.g 1.4, 2.2, 0.5 etc.)

Step 2:

Then look up at the top of z-table to find the remaining decimal point in the range of 0.00 to 0.09. (e.g. if you are looking for 0.50 then go for 0.00 column)

Step 3:

Finally, find the corresponding probability from the z-table at the intersection of step 1 and step 2.

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

you would have $2.98 left

Step-by-step explanation:

$4.59 x 2=9.18

3.00 x 3=9.00

$1.99 x 2=3.98

$9.18+$9.00+$3.98=22.16

$25.00-$22.16 = $2.89

The radius of a certain molecule is about 1.21.2 angstroms. One angstrom is 0.000000010.00000001 cm. What is the diameter of thi
Ad libitum [116K]
Ok the diameter would be 0.000000024cm 

because 1.2 x 0.00000001 = 0.000000012 

that is the radius so we multiply by 2 to get the diameter 

0.000000012 x 2 = 0.000000024
