(8 marks) The average price of cell phones manufactured by Apple, Inc. is $98 with a standard deviation of $12. Furthermore, it is known that the prices of the cell phones manufactured by Apple are normally distributed. 4. What percentage of cell phones produced by Apple, Inc. will have prices of at least $120.20? Cell phones with prices of at least 81.80 will get a free gift.

If 7,218 of the Apple cell phones were priced at least $119.00, how many cell phones were produced by Apple, Inc.? a. b. c, d.

Explanation / Answer

mean = 98
std. dev. = 12

a)
P(X >= 120.2) = P(z > (120.2 - 98)/12) = P(z > 1.85) = 0.0322

b)
P(X >= 81.8) = P(z > (81.8 - 98)/12) = P(z > -1.35) = 0.9115

91.15%

c)

d)

P(X >= 119) = P(z > (119 - 98)/12) = P(z > 1.75) = 0.04

n*p = 7218
n = 7218/0.04 = 180450
