According to a government study among adults in the 25- to 34-year age group, the mean amount spent per year on reading and entertainment is $1,925. Assume that the distribution of the amounts spent follows the normal distribution with a standard deviation of $610. (Round z-score computation to 2 decimal places and your final answers to 2 decimal places.)\r

\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "z(2725) = (2725-1925)/610 = 1.3115
