Do you think the actual number in the  200 range would equal the expected number in this range? If so, why? If not, why not?

Answer to Question 1

2.28; No. We would expect 11.4 of the 500 observations (2.28) to have a value of 200 or more. The actual number would not be equal to the expected number. However, the more observations we select, the closer we will tend to come to what we expect.

Answer to Question 2

B
