a. What percentage of sales representatives earn between $32,000 and $42,000 per year?
b. What percentage of sales representatives earn more than $42,000 per year?
c. The sales manager wants to award the sales representatives who earn the largest commissions a bonus of $1000. He can award a bonus to 20% of the representatives. What is the cutoff point between those who earn a bonus and those who do not?
I want the solution to be solved in excel
ANSWER::
Mean = 40000, sd = 5000
a) P(32000 < x < 42000) = P(x < 42000) - P(x < 32000)
To do this we need to use formula: 'norm.dist(x, mean, standard deviation, true)' formula
Excel work:
Hence, 60.06% of sales person earn between $32000, and $42000.
b) P(x > 42000)
Norm.dist provides area of the left of a particular value, here we need area of right so we will use 1-norm.dist.
Excel work:
Hence, 34.46% of sales person earn more than $42000 per year.
c) For top 20% we need to find z-score by using normsinv function.
0.8 because 80% of values below of this.
Hence, cutoff for bonus is $44208.
