Hey!
An insurance office has $2500$ contracts with mean annual profit (per contract) $\mu=330$ and standard deviation $\sigma=540$. Calculate the probability that the total annual profit is not more than $800000$.
I have one the following:
The annual total profit should be not more than $800000$, that means that per contract it shoulebe not more than $\frac{800000}{2500}=320$.
So $$Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{320-330}{540}\approx -1.31 \\ P(Z\leq -1.31)=0.0968$$ Is that the correct probability?
