Question 2

Answer to Question 1

We would expect that virtually all of the sales people had expenses within  3 standard deviations of the mean. Although not very likely, it is possible that a sales person will have expenses in the amount of 300. Less than 2.5 of the sales people would have sales expenses of this amount or more.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
