Answer:
12.55% probability that on a given day the supermarket will sell between 410 and 424 gallons of milk.
Explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean
and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this problem, we have that:

What is the probability that on a given day the supermarket will sell between 410 and 424 gallons of milk?
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 424 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 410.
X = 424



has a pvalue of 0.1814.
X = 410



has a pvalue of 0.0559.
So there is a 0.1814 - 0.0559 = 0.1255 = 12.55% probability that on a given day the supermarket will sell between 410 and 424 gallons of milk.
