Question

Suppose that the distribution of income in a certain tax bracket is approximately normal with a mean of $52,338.36 and a standard deviation of $3,373.094. Approximately 38.52% of households had an income less than what dollar amount?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Probability distribution: A probability distribution function is the statistical function that describes all the possible values and a likelihood that can be a random variable can take within the given range. these factors include the distribution's mean, standard deviation.

we know the formula for z-score,

z = x-μσ

Given,

Population mean = μ = 52338.36

Population standard deviation = σ = 3373.094

z-score = 38.52%

critical value = -0.292      from the standard normal table.
