(c)	The probability that fewer than 75 of the 200 customers on a given day make a payment with a credit card. The probability of a customer using a credit card is 0.4

mean = np = 200 x 0.4 = 80 customers 
standard deviation = 6.92

We want to find where 75 customers fits into this curve, and what percentage of customers will fit into this area.


Find the z score:  z = (x - mean)/s  =  (75-80)/6.92  =  -0.7216 
Using the z table, results in a value of 0.2358 
                            

The probability that fewer than 75 or less customers will pay by credit card is    
0.2358 or 23.6%
