Question

a) Attendance at large exhibition shows in Denver averages about 8000 people per day, with standard deviation of about 475. Assume that the daily attendance figures follow a normal distribution. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

What is the probability that the daily attendance will be fewer than 7200 people?

What is the probability that the daily attendance will be more than 8900 people?

What is the probability that the daily attendance will be between 7200 and 8900 people?

b) Most exhibition shows open in the morning and close in the late evening. A study of Saturday arrival times showed that the average arrival time was 3 hours and 48 minutes after the doors opened, and the standard deviation was estimated at about 56 minutes. Assume that the arrival times follow a normal distribution.

At what time after the doors open will 92% of the people who are coming to the Saturday show have arrived? (Round your answer to the nearest number of minutes.)
