A small hair salon in Denver, Colorado, averages about 30 customers on weekdays with a standard deviation of 6. It is safe to assume that the underlying distribution is normal. In an attempt to increase the number of weekday customers, the manager offers a $2 discount on 5 consecutive weekdays. She reports that her strategy has worked since the sample mean of customers during this 5 weekday period jumps to 35. Required:
What is the probability to get a sample average of 35 or more customers if the manager had not offered the discount?

0.0314 = 3.14% probability to get a sample average of 35 or more customers if the manager had not offered the discount

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean and standard deviation , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean and standard deviation .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

A small hair salon in Denver, Colorado, averages about 30 customers on weekdays with a standard deviation of 6.

This means that

5 consecutive weekdays.

This means that

What is the probability to get a sample average of 35 or more customers if the manager had not offered the discount?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 35.

By the Central Limit Theorem

has a pvalue of 0.9686

1 - 0.9686 = 0.0314

0.0314 = 3.14% probability to get a sample average of 35 or more customers if the manager had not offered the discount

10 you would take 50/ .2

step-by-step explanation:

25 questions , because they start with 100.  

350-100=250 .  

. 250/10=25

step-by-step explanation:

first take off 100, then what x 10 = 250? that is your answer. (25)
