Question

If there are 300 houseflies in the study, how many of them will live longer than 21 days?

Answer 1

The 48 flies of them will live longer than 21 days if there are 300 houseflies in the study.

What is a normal distribution?

It's the probability curve of a continuous distribution that's most likely symmetric around the mean. On the Z curve, at Z=0, the chance is 50-50. A bell-shaped curve is another name for it.

We have mean u = 18 days

SD = 3 days

X = 21 days

From the formula:

Z = (X - u)/SD

Z = (21 - 18)/3 = 1

P(x<21) = 0.84134

P(x>21) = 1 - P(x<21) = 0.15866

Number of flies = 300×0.15866 = 47.59 ≈ 48 flies

Thus, the 48 flies of them will live longer than 21 days if there are 300 houseflies in the study.
