Costumers in a department store are normally distributed with a mean age of 32.3 years and a standard deviation of 9.7 years.
a) What is the probability that the next customer that enters the store will be in their twenties?
b) What is the probability that 2 of the next 3 customers will be in their twenties?
Let X denote the age of customers in a department store
We are given :
a)
Probability that the next customer that enters the store will be in their twenties =
We use Excel function "NORMSDIST()" as :
b)
Probability that 2 of the next 3 customers will be in their twenties =
= 3*Probability that the customer will be in their twenties*Probability that the customer will be in their twenties*Probability that the customer will not be in their twenties
= 3*0.264*0.264*(1-0.264)
= 0.154
