Answer:

81.85% of days would you expect the store to sell from 33 to 42 pairs of shoes

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean number of pairs of shoes sold by a shoe store is 36

[tex]\mu = 36[/tex]

Standard deviation = [tex]\sigma = 3[/tex]

We are supposed to find percent of days would you expect the store to sell from 33 to 42 pairs of shoes i.e.P(33<x<42)

Formula : [tex]Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

At x = 33

[tex]Z=\frac{33-36}{3}[/tex]

Z=-1

Refer the z table for p value

p =0.1587

At x = 42

[tex]Z=\frac{42-36}{3}[/tex]

Z=2

Refer the z table for p value

p =0.9772

So,P(33<x<42)=P(x<42)-P(x<33)=0.9772-0.1587=0.8185

Hence 81.85% of days would you expect the store to sell from 33 to 42 pairs of shoes
