6. The Edwards's Theater chain has studied its movie customers to determine how much money they spend on concessions. The study revealed that the spending distribution is approximately normally distributed with a mean of $4.11 and a standard deviation of $1.37. What percentage of customers will spend less than $3.00 on concessions? a. 2.09% b. 20.9% c. 81.0% d. 209.0%​

Respuesta :

The percentage of customers will spend less than $3.00 on concessions is which is option (d).

  • Z-scores can be placed on a normal distribution curve. Z-scores range from -3 standard deviations (leftmost part of  normal distribution curve)  to +3 standard deviations (rightmost part of  normal distribution curve). To use the z-score, we need to know the mean μ and  the population standard deviation σ.
  • A Z-score is a way to compare results to a "normal" population. Test or poll results have thousands of possible outcomes and units. These results  often seem meaningless. A sample basic Z-score formula  is  z = (x - μ) / σ     ...(1)

It is given that mean is $4.11 , standard deviation is $1.37 and value is $3.00

Putting above values in equation (1) , we get

[tex]z=\frac{3-4.11}{1.37} \\\\z=-0.810[/tex]

P(x<3) = 0.20891

Percentage will be 209. %
