The number of orders that come into a mail order sales office each month is normally distributed with a mean of 298 and a standard deviation of 15.4. What is the probability that in a particular month the office receives more than 310 orders?
Added by Holly B.
Step 1
We are given that the number of orders received by a mail order sales office each month follows a normal distribution with a mean (μ) of 298 orders and a standard deviation (σ) of 15.4 orders. We need to find the probability that in a particular month, the office Show more…

The number of orders that comes into a mail-order sales office each month is normally distributed with mean 298 and standard deviation 15.4. What number of orders is such that the probability of receiving fewer orders than this number is approximately 15%

The number of orders that come into a mail-order sales office each month is normally distributed with a mean of 298 and a standard deviation of 15.4 Suppose that 19% of all sales are for amounts greater than $1,000. In a random sample of 30 invoices, what is the probability that more than six of the invoices are for over $1,000? Use the binomial approximation to the normal distribution, without the continuity. A) 0.4443 B) 0.9440 C) 0.5557 D) 0.0560

A recent study of the lifetimes of cell phones found the average is 24.3 months. The standard deviation is 2.6 months. If a company provides its 33 employees with a cell phone, find the probability that the mean lifetime of these phones will be less than 23.8 months. Assume cell phone life is a normally distributed variable.
