Answer:

The probability that the shopkeeper's annual profit will not exceed $100,000 is 0.2090.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Central Limit Theorem if we have a population with mean <em>μ</em> and standard deviation <em>σ</em> and we select appropriately huge random samples (<em>n</em> ≥ 30) from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sum of values of <em>X</em>, i.e ∑<em>X</em>, will be approximately normally distributed.  

Then, the mean of the distribution of the sum of values of X is given by,  

 \mu_{x}=n\mu

And the standard deviation of the distribution of the sum of values of X is given by,  

 \sigma_{x}=\sqrt{n}\sigma

The information provided is:

<em>μ</em> = $970

<em>σ</em> = $129

<em>n</em> = 102

Since the sample size is quite large, i.e. <em>n</em> = 102 > 30, the Central Limit Theorem can be used to approximate the distribution of the shopkeeper's annual profit.

Then,

\sum X\sim N(\mu_{x}=98940,\ \sigma_{x}=1302.84)

Compute the probability that the shopkeeper's annual profit will not exceed $100,000 as follows:

P (\sum X \leq  100,000) =P(\frac{\sum X-\mu_{x}}{\sigma_{x}}

                              =P(Z

*Use a <em>z</em>-table for the probability.

Thus, the probability that the shopkeeper's annual profit will not exceed $100,000 is 0.2090.

Answer:

  30500 = 3.05·10^4

Step-by-step explanation:

Your calculator can do this for you. You may need to set the display to scientific notation, if that's the form of the answer you want.

__

This can be computed by converting both numbers to standard form:

  (5·10^2) +(3·10^4)

  = 500 +30000 = 30500 = 3.05·10^4

__

Addition of numbers in scientific notation in general requires that they have the same power of 10. It may be convenient to convert both numbers to the highest power of 10.

  5·10^2 + 3·10^4

  = 0.05·10^4 +3·10^4 . . . . now both have multipliers of 10^4

  = (0.05 +3)·10^4

  = 3.05·10^4
