New York City is the most expensive city in the United States for lodging. The mean hotel room rate is $204 per night (USA Today, April 30, 2012). Assume that room rates are normally distributed with a standard deviation of $53. Use Table 1 in Appendix B. a. What is the probability that a hotel room costs $226 or more per night (to 4 decimals)? b. What is the probability that a hotel room costs less than $141 per night (to 4 decimals)?
