Average sales for an online textbook distributor were $67.63 per customer per purchase. Assume the sales are normally distributed. If the standard deviation of the amount spent on textbooks is $8.96, find these probabilities for a randomly selected customer of the online textbook distributor. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent. (a)He or she spent more than $85.55 per purchase. (b)He or she spent less than $76.59 per purchase

Answer:

(a)P(x>85.55)=0.02275

(b)[tex]P(x<76.59)=0.84134[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Average sales for an online textbook distributor  per customer per purchase

,[tex]\mu=[/tex]$67.63

Standard deviation of the amount spent on textbooks,[tex]\sigma=[/tex]$8.96

(a) We have to find probability for a randomly selected customer spent more than $85.55 per purchase.

[tex]P(x>85.55)=P(\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{85.55-67.63}{8.96})[/tex]

=[tex]P(Z>2)[/tex]

=[tex]1-P(Z\leq 2)[/tex]

=[tex]1-0.97725[/tex]

P(x>85.55)=0.02275

(b)We have to find probability for a randomly selected customer spent less than $76.59 per purchase

[tex]P(x<76.59)=P(\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}<\frac{76.59-67.63}{8.96})[/tex]

[tex]P(x<76.59)=P(Z<1)[/tex]

[tex]P(x<76.59)=0.84134[/tex]
