In this exercise the cumulative distribution function of


1.) An entrepreneur in a developing country owns 10 food carts.  He has ten employees to work with these food carts.  Let Xi be a random variable representing revenue from cart i (on a particular day), i = 1,..., 10.  Xis approximately normally distributed with mean $35, and variance 64 (squared dollars).  Revenues of the different carts are independent.

What is the probability that average revenue will be less than $30 on a particular day?

In this exercise the cumulative distribution function of the standard normal random variable is denoted by F(.).

a) 1-F(0.625)

b) F(0.625)

c) 1-F(1.97)

d) F(1.97)
