The average hourly wage of employees of a certain company is $9.83. Assume the variable is normally distributed. If the standard deviation is $4.58, find the probability that a randomly selected employee earns less than $5.43.
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Find the z-score of 5.43
\n" ); document.write( "z(5.43) = (5.43-9.83)/4.58 = -0.960699
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Then P(x < 5.43) = P(z < -0.960699) = 0.1684 = 16.84%
\n" ); document.write( "======================================
