7. Let the random variable X represent the profit made on a randomly selected day by a certain store. Assume
that X is approximately Normal with mean $360 and standard deviation $50. The most profitable 10% of days
have a profit of at least how many dollars?

(d) $424
(e) $476
8. Which of the following is a true statement?
(a) The binomial setting requires that there are only two possible outcomes for each trial, while the
geometric setting permits more than two outcomes.
(b) A geometric random variable takes on integer values from 0 to n.
(c) If X is a geometric random variable and the probability of success is 0.85, then the probability
distribution of X will be skewed left, since 0.85 is closer to 1 than to 0.
(d) An important difference between binomial and geometric random variables is that there is a fixed
number of trials in a binomial setting, and the number of trials varies in a geometric setting.
(e) The distribution of every binomial random variable is skewed right.
Use the following for problems 9 and 10. The number of DVDS rented daily at DVD rental machine has a mean
of 134 with a standard deviation of 42.

Expert Solution
Step 1

The z score can be calculated as:

z=x-μσ

The required z score that is associated with the top 10% can be obtained by using the standard normal table. The value of z at p = 0.10 is 1.28.
