A high end store is looking to open new stores, but requires that 85% of the households in a community have an income of $90,000 or more in order to support the store. If the household incomes in a certain community are normally distributed with a mean of $98,000 and a standard deviation of $5,000, will the store open in that community? Explain why or why not.

The Wall Street Journal reported that approximately 25% of the people who are told a product is improved will believe that it is in fact improved. The remaining 75% believe that this is just hype. Suppose a marketing study consists of a random sample of eight people who are given a sales talk about a new, improved product. What is the standard deviation of the number of people who believe that the product is in fact improved? What is the mean of the number of people who believe that the product is in fact improved?
UG is curious how likely they are to reach their annual profit target. Past experience suggests that annual revenue follows a typical bell-shaped distribution, with a mean of $12 million and a standard deviation of $2 million. UG has set a profit goal of $14 million for this year. How likely are they to reach the target based on the historical data? In order to remain in good standing with investors, UG needs to make at least $9 million in profit. What are the chances they fail fall into poor standing with their investors?
