For this case we have that Newton's second law is given by:

$F = m * a$

Where:

m: It's the mass

a: Acceleration

F: It's the force

According to the data we have:

$2,000 = 40,000 * a$

Dividing between 40,000 on both sides of the equation:

$a = \frac {2,000} {40,000}\\a = 0.05$

Thus, the acceleration is $0.05 \frac {m} {s ^ 2}$

Answer:

$0.05 \frac {m} {s ^ 2}$

I multiplied 36×12 because the keyword "Each" tells you that each person will donate 12 items. After I multiple, I got 432.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ ;
