Question

The sofas I’m shopping for have prices that are well approximated by a normal distribution with mean ? = $850 and
standard deviation ? = $120. With this information, what is the probability
a. that I find a sofa that meets my goal of costing no more than $400.
b. that I find a sofa that I can pay for with my extra money earned this
summer from babysitting at $825.
c. someone shows me a really nice sofa that costs as much as my first car: $1200.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
