Answer:
A. Approximately 68%
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of pieces of popcorn in a bucket is normally distributed.
Mean = μ = 1610
Standard deviation = б = 10
We know that in normal distribution, approximately 34% of bags will fall with in one standard deviation on one side. On both sides within the range of 1 standard deviation, 34 + 34 = 68 % of bags will fall.
A table of normal distribution about mean is attached for better understanding.
Our range is:
1600 to 1620
1610 - 10 to 1610 + 10
μ ± б
mean ± 1 standard deviation
Our range is within 1 standard deviation. Hence, Approximately 68% of buckets contain between 1600 and 1620 pieces of popcorn.

and h(x)= 2x-8
g o h is a composition function
First we find g o h
g o h is g(h(x))
We plug in h(x) in g(x)
We replace x with 2x-8 in g(x)
To find domain we look at the domain of h(x) first
Domain of h(x) is set of all real numbers
now we look at the domain of g(h(x))
Negative number inside the square root is imaginary. so we ignore negative number inside the square root
So to find domain we set 2x - 12 >=0 and solve for x
2x - 12 >=0
add both sides by 12
2x >= 12
divide both sides by 2
x > = 6
