1. **Problem statement:** The weekly sales amount of a skin care product follows a normal distribution with mean $\mu=5000$ and standard deviation $\sigma=400$. We need to find probabilities for sales amounts:
(i) More than 6000
(ii) More than 4000
(iii) Between 4800 and 5800
2. **Formula and rules:** For a normal distribution, the probability for a value $X$ is found using the standard normal variable $Z$:
$$Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$$
We use standard normal tables or a calculator to find probabilities from $Z$ values.
3. **(i) Probability sales > 6000:**
Calculate $Z$:
$$Z=\frac{6000-5000}{400}=\frac{1000}{400}=2.5$$
Probability $P(X>6000)=P(Z>2.5)$.
From standard normal tables, $P(Z>2.5)=1-P(Z\leq2.5)=1-0.9938=0.0062$.
4. **(ii) Probability sales > 4000:**
Calculate $Z$:
$$Z=\frac{4000-5000}{400}=\frac{-1000}{400}=-2.5$$
Probability $P(X>4000)=P(Z>-2.5)$.
Since $P(Z>-2.5)=1-P(Z\leq-2.5)$ and $P(Z\leq-2.5)=0.0062$, then
$$P(Z>-2.5)=1-0.0062=0.9938$$
5. **(iii) Probability sales between 4800 and 5800:**
Calculate $Z$ for both limits:
$$Z_1=\frac{4800-5000}{400}=\frac{-200}{400}=-0.5$$
$$Z_2=\frac{5800-5000}{400}=\frac{800}{400}=2$$
