a. What percent of the sales representatives earn more than $42,000 per year?

z = (42000-40000)/5000 z = 0.4 prob(z > 0.4) = 0.3446

b. What percent of the sales representatives earn between $32,000 and $42,000?

z(32000) = (32000-40000)/5000 = -1.6 prob(-1.6 < z < 0.4) = 0.6006

c. What percent of the sales representatives earn between $32,000 and $35,000?

z(35000) = (35000-40000)/5000 = -1 prob(-1.6 < z < -1) = 0.1039

d. The sales manager wants to award the sales representatives who earn the largest commissions a bonus of $1,000. He can award a bonus to 20 percent of the representatives. What is the cutoff point between those who earn a bonus and those who do not?

z(20%) = 0.8416 x = z*sigma + mu x = 0.8416*5000 + 40000 x = $44208
