Answer:

P(X>200)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{200-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{200-185}{25})=P(Z>0.6)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and with the normal standard table or excel:

P(Z>0.6)=1-P(z

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the average household spent of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(185,25)  

Where \mu=185 and \sigma=25

We are interested on this probability

P(X>200)

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X>200)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{200-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{200-185}{25})=P(Z>0.6)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and with the normal standard table or excel:

P(Z>0.6)=1-P(z

Igoryamba
To answer let e be the amount of Dexter's earning. From the given conditions, it is implied that this value should be equal or more than $50. Further, this amount should also be less than or equal to $100. Mathematically, this can be expressed as,
                                50 ≤ e ≤ 100
The answer is letter D.
