A recent survey was conducted to compare the cost of solar energy to the cost of gas or electric energy. Results of the survey revealed that the distribution of the amount of the monthly utility bill of a 3-bedroom house using gas or electric energy had a mean of $97 and a standard deviation of $10. If the distribution can be considered mound-shaped and symmetric, what percentage of homes will have a monthly utility bill of more than $87

The percentage  of homes will have a monthly utility bill of more than $87

P(X>87) = 0.8413 X 100 = 84.13%

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

Given Mean of the Population =97

Standard deviation of the Population = 10

Let 'X' be the random variable in normal distribution

      Z= -1

The probability that  homes will have a monthly utility bill of more than $87

P(X>87) = P( Z>-1) = 0.5 + A(-1)

                            = 0.5 + A(1)     (∵A(-1)=A(1)

                           =0.5 +  0.3413

                           = 0.8413

The percentage  of homes will have a monthly utility bill of more than $87

P(X>87) = 0.8413 X 100 = 84.13%

c. (3,2,6) is the answer.

describing distributions is one of the key skills you’ll need to earn a high score on the ap statistics exam. if you need proof of this, just flip through some past exam questions, which can be found at the collegeboard website. you’ll notice that the first free response question is almost always a question requiring you to look at a graph and describe it.
