Answer:

a. The probability that any one customers service costs will exceed the contract price of $200 is 0.0228

b. Warda expected profit per service contract is $50

Explanation:

a. In order to calculate  the probability that any one customers service costs will exceed the contract price of $200 we would have to calculate first the z value as follows:

z=x-μ/σ

z=$200-$150/$25

z=2

Therefore, probability that any one customers service costs will exceed the contract price of $200 is p(x>$200)=p(z>2)

=1-p(z≤2)

=1-0.9772

=0.0228

The probability that any one customers service costs will exceed the contract price of $200 is 0.0228

b. To calculate Warda expected profit per service contract we would have to make the following calculation:

Warda expected profit per service contract=service charge per contract-expected cost

Warda expected profit per service contract=$200-$150

Warda expected profit per service contract=$50

Warda expected profit per service contract is $50
