9) The average hourly wage of workers at a car wash is $6.50/hr. Assume the wages are normally distributed with a standard deviation of $0.45. If a worker at this car wash is selected at random, what is the probability that the worker earns more than $6.75
A) 27.6%
B) 5.2%
C) 28.8%
D) 42.1%

1) Which choice is another term that can be used to describe a normal distribution:

Ans: C) bell curve
Explanation: A normal distribution is a bell shaped curve.

2) If a normal distribution has a mean of 30 and a standard deviation of 5, then

Ans: B) the median is 30 and the mode is 30.
Explanation: For a normal distribution Mean = Median = Mode.

3) Find the probability P(z < 0.37) using the standard normal distribution.

Ans: A) 0.6443
Explanation: Using the Excel function =NORMSDIST(0.37) we get P(z < 0.37) as 0.6443
