3. A popular retail store knows that the distribution of purchase amounts by its customers is approximately normal with a mean of $30 and a standard deviation of $9. Below you will find normal probability and percentile calculations related to the customer purchase amounts.
Probability Calculations
P(Sales < $ 15.00) = 0.048, P(Sales < $ 20.00) = 0.133
P(Sales < $ 25.00) = 0.289, P(Sales < $ 35.00) = 0.711
Percentiles Calculations
1st Percentile = $9.06, 5th Percentile = $15.20
95th Percentile = $44.80, 99th Percentile = $50.94
What is the probability that a randomly selected customer will spend less than $15?
