Question
A grocery store's receipts show that Sunday customer purchases have a skewed distribution with a mean of
$29 and a standard deviation of $19. Suppose the store had 307 customers this Sunday.
a) Estimate the probability that the store's revenues were at least $9,100.
b) If, on a typical Sunday, the store serves 307 customers, how much does the store take in on the worst 10% of such days?
