## Educational Exercise: Analyzing Spending at Don Mcalds

### Average Spending Analysis

The average amount of money that people spend at Don Mcalds fast food place is $7.6400 with a standard deviation of $1.6800. We randomly select 16 customers and analyze their spending based on a normal distribution. Please answer the following questions, rounding all answers to four decimal places where applicable.

#### Questions

a. **Distribution of Individual Spending (X):**
   - \( X \sim N(\, \boxed{7.6400} \,, \boxed{1.6800} \, ) \)

b. **Distribution of Average Spending (\(\bar{x}\)):**
   - \( \bar{x} \sim N(\, \boxed{7.6400} \,, \boxed{0.4200} \, ) \)

c. **Distribution of Total Spending (\(\sum x\)):**
   - \( \sum x \sim N(\, \boxed{122.2400} \,, \boxed{6.7200} \, ) \)

#### Probabilities

d. **Probability of One Customer Spending More Than $8.2100:**
   - Probability: \(\boxed{0.3611}\)

e. **Probability of 16 Customers Having an Average Spend Less Than $8.2100:**
   - Probability: \(\boxed{0.8944}\)

f. **Probability of 16 Customers Spending More Than $131.3600:**
   - Probability: \(\boxed{0.0161}\)

g. **Normal Assumption for Parts e) and f):**
   - Is the assumption of normal necessary? \(\boxed{\text{Yes}}\)

#### Special Offer

h. **Free Sundae Offer:**
   - The owner of Don Mcalds provides a coupon for a free sundae to the top 2% of all groups of 16 people who spend the most money. **Minimum Amount a Group Must Spend for a Free Sundae:**
   - Amount: \(\boxed{129.6040}\)

Explore these concepts by calculating and interpreting the probabilities and distributions for better insight into consumer behavior in statistical contexts.
