A waitress believes the distribution of her tips has a model that is slightly skewed to the left, with a mean of $8.80 and a standard deviation of $6.50. She usually waits on about 60 parties over a weekend of work. a) Estimate the probability that she will earn at least $550. b) How much does sheearn on the best 10% of such weekends?
