Let x represent the dollar amount spent on supermarket impulse buying in a 10-minute (unplanned) shopping interval. Based on a certain article, the mean of the x distribution is about $40 and the estimated standard deviation is about $8. What is the probability that x is between $38 and $42? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) Let us assume that x has a distribution that is approximately normal. What is the probability that x is between $38 and $42? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
Assuming, X ~ N(40, 8) approximately, Z = (X - 40)/8 ~ N(0,1)
We have, P(38 < X < 42) = P[(38 - 40)/8 < (X - 40)/8 < (42 - 40)/8] = P[-0.25 < (X - 40)/8 < 0.25] = (0.25) - (-0.25) = 0.5987 - 0.4013 = 0.1974
[(.) is the cdf of N(0,1)]
Hence, the probability of X is between 38 and 42 is 0.1974.

1. Let x represent the dollar amount spent on supermarket impulse buying in a 10-minute (unplanned) shopping interval. Based on a certain article, the mean of the x distribution is about $24 and the estimated standard deviation is about $7. Is it necessary to make any assumption about the x distribution? Explain your answer. a. It is not necessary to make any assumption about the x distribution because μ is large. b. It is necessary to assume that x has...
