The income distribution in a county is a normal distribution with a mean income of $10,000. the top 2.5% of the wage earners earn $18,000 or more. which sentence most closely summarizes this information? 68% of the wage earners earn less than $14,000 each. 16% of the wage earners earn less than $14,000 each. 55% of the wage earners earn less than $14,000 each. 84% of the wage earners earn less than $14,000 each. 95% of the wage earners earn less than $14,000 each.

84% of the wage earners earn less than $14,000 each.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule (68-95-99.7%)-

According to this around 95% of the data will fall within two standard deviations of the mean.

As the bell curve is symmetrical, so the remaining 5% will be divided into 2 equal parts. So 2.5% will be above 2 standard deviation and 2.5% will be below 2 standard deviation.

As it is given that, the top 2.5% of the wage earners earn $18,000 or more, so 18,000 is 2 standard deviation away from the mean 10,000.

i.e

We know that,

where,

X = raw score = 14,000

μ = 10,000

σ = 4,000

Putting the values,

Now, calculating the value from the z score table,

As the probability at is the area below that, so 84% of the wage earners earn less than $14,000 each.

step-by-step explanation:

if it takes 8 pounds to make 12 divide 12 by 8 and you get 1.5, 1.5 x 16 = 24
