- a. If the 100 customers on a particular day have the characteristics of a random sample from their customer base, find the mean and standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the restaurant’s sample mean expense per customer.
- b. Find the
probability that the restaurant makes a profit that day, with the sample mean expense being less than $8.95. (Hint: Apply the central limit theorem to the sampling distribution in part a.)
