Answer:

Explanation:

Weekly wages at a certain factory are

normally distributed. The formula for normal distribution is expressed as

z= (x - u)/s

Where

u = mean

s = standard deviation

x = weekly wages

From the given information,

u = 400

s = 50

The probability that a worker

selected at random makes between

$350 and $400 is expressed as

P(350 lesser than or equal to x lesser than or equal to 400)

For x = 350

z = (350 - 400)/50 = -50/50 = -1

z = -1

From the normal distribution table, the corresponding z score is 0.1587

For x = 400

z = (400 - 400)/50 = 0/50 = 0

z = 0

From the normal distribution table, the corresponding z score is 0.5

P(350 lesser than or equal to x lesser than or equal to 400)

= 0.5 - 0.1587 = 0.3413
