If a computer statistical package were to simulate 500 random observations from a normal distribution with mean  = 100 and standard deviation  = 50, what percentage of these observations would you expect to have a value of 200 or more? 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
