The sales department has determined that the average purchase value for their catalog business is normally distributed with a mean of $41.34 and a standard deviation of $13.54. What is the purchase value at the 30th percentile

Respuesta :

Answer:

The purchase value at the 30th percentile=34.24

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Mean,[tex]\mu=41.34[/tex]

Standard deviation,[tex]\sigma=13.54[/tex]

We have to find the purchase value at the 30th percentile.

[tex]xth percentile =\mu+Z\times \sigma[/tex]

Where Z is the critical value of x% confidence interval

x=30

Critical value of Z at 30% confidence interval=-0.5244

Using the formula

30th percentile=[tex]41.34+(-0.5244)(13.54)[/tex]

30th percentile=[tex]41.34-7.100376[/tex]

30th percentile[tex]\approx 34.24[/tex]

Hence,  the purchase value at the 30th percentile=34.24
