Mall Rats An article in American Demographics claims that more than twice as many shoppers are out shopping on the weekends than during the week.7 Not only that, such shoppers also spend more money on their purchases on Saturdays and Sundays! Suppose that the amount of money spent at shopping centers between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. on Sundays has a normal distribution with a mean of $185 and a standard deviation of $20.
A shopper is randomly selected on a Sunday between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. and asked about his spending patterns.

$195 at the mall?
