Calculate z-scores for RM35,000 and RM40,000 as follows: z = (35000 - 38000) / 6100 ≈ -0.492 and z = (40000 - 38000) / 6100 ≈ 0.328. Use standard normal distribution tables to find corresponding probabilities and determine the proportion between these z-scores. This results in a probability of approximately 0.319 .
In a Poisson distribution, the expected number of incidents (mean) is directly equal to the rate parameter λ. Thus, the expected number of accidents per month in the facility is 2.4 .
To determine the probability that a refund exceeds RM3,000, calculate the z-score as (3000 - 2454) / 650 ≈ 0.84. Using the standard normal distribution, find the probability corresponding to z = 0.84 and subtract it from 1. The result is approximately 1 - 0.7995 = 0.2005 or 20.05% .
Calculate the probability using the Poisson formula: P(X = 0) = e^-λ * λ^0 / 0!, where λ = 2.5. This results in P(X = 0) = e^-2.5 ≈ 0.0821, so there is an 8.21% chance that there are no colonies in 1 cm² .
To verify the claim, the retailer can perform a hypothesis test for a population proportion. The null hypothesis is that the proportion is 0.20. Use the sample proportion (4/12 = 0.3333) to calculate the test statistic and compare it against a critical value or p-value from a standard normal distribution to accept or reject the hypothesis .
First, calculate the mean λ for 2 cm², which is 2.5 * 2 = 5. Then use the Poisson probability formula P(X > 4). Calculate P(X ≤ 4) as the sum of P(X = 0) to P(X = 4), using P(X = k) = (λ^k * e^-λ) / k!. Subtract the result from 1 to find P(X > 4). This yields approximately 1 - 0.4405 = 0.5595 or 55.95% .
The probability that all five people selected are male can be calculated using the binomial probability formula. Since each individual has a 70% chance of being male, the probability is calculated as (0.7)^5 = 0.16807, meaning there is a 16.807% chance that all five selected individuals will be male .
To determine the likelihood of exactly four purchases, use the binomial probability formula P(X = k) = C(n, k) * p^k * (1-p)^(n-k), where n = 12, k = 4, and p = 0.2. This equates to P(X = 4) = C(12, 4) * (0.2)^4 * (0.8)^8. Calculating this gives a probability of approximately 0.1328, or 13.28% .
To find the minimum income for the top 30%, determine the z-score that corresponds to the 70th percentile of a standard normal distribution. Use this z-score, approximately 0.524, to calculate the income using the formula: income = mean + z * standard deviation, which results in an income of RM41,194 .
