Answer:

The probability that an individual sales person earn the bonus by selling more than $2150 in a day is 0.3085.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a normal distribution N(2000,300), a value of 2150 corresponds to a z-score of

z= (x-μ)/σ = (2150-2000)/300 = 0.5

According to the tables, we have

P(x'>z)=P(x'>0.5)=0.30854

The probability that an individual sales person earn the bonus by selling more than $2150 in a day is 0.3085.
