Suppose the daily customer volume at a call center has a normal distribution with mean 5,500 and standard deviation 1,000. What is the probability that the call center will get between 4,800 and 5,000 calls in a day

0.0665 = 6.65% probability that the call center will get between 4,800 and 5,000 calls in a day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean and standard deviation , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean 5,500 and standard deviation 1,000.

This means that

What is the probability that the call center will get between 4,800 and 5,000 calls in a day?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 5000 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 4800. So

X = 5000

has a p-value of 0.3085.

X = 4800

has a p-value of 0.2420.

0.3085 - 0.2420 = 0.0665

0.0665 = 6.65% probability that the call center will get between 4,800 and 5,000 calls in a day.
