Because of the relatively high interest rates, most consumers
attempt to pay off their credit card bills promptly. However, this
is not always possible. An analysis of the amount of interest paid
monthly by a bank’s Visa cardholders reveals that the amount is
normally distributed with a mean of $27 and a standard deviation of
$7.
(a) What proportion of the bank’s Visa cardholders pay more than
$30 in interest?
(b) What proportion of the bank’s Visa cardholders pay more than
$40 in interest?
(c) What proportion of the bank’s Visa cardholders pay less than
$15 interest?
(d) What interest payment is exceeded by only 20% of the bank’s
Visa cardholders?
