John has two jobs. For daytime work at a jewelry store he is paid

djyliett [7]

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.

harrison is playing a board game that has a path of 100 space. after his first turn,he is 1/5 of the way along the spaces. on hi

Kryger [21]

On his first turn he moves one fifth of one hundred what is equal to twenty on second turn he moves twenty less one fourth of twenty what is equal to fifteen. In last time he moves eleven fourths of twenty what is equal to fifty five. Then 3rd turn he has moved ninety spaces

i hope this helps :)

A group of students auditioned for a theater performance and 3/4 of the group less six students made up the cast of 42 students.

LenKa [72]

Answer:

3/4x-6=42

x=64

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of students be x hence 3/4 of this number will be 3/4x

Since the number was 42 if they were 3/4x less six, it means minus six hence

3/4x-6=42

Therefore, the equation will be

3/4x-6=42

Solving the equation

3/4 x=42+6=48

3/4x=48

X=62
