Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a test to measure psychotic tendencies was given to a group of 1,000 air force cadets who wished to work in nuclear silos.
If Score ≥64 would be eliminated.
X is N(52, 12)
Probability for any random person to get eliminated
=
Now coming to sample size of 1000 people, we find each person is independent of the other and there are two outcomes either >64 or < 64

Mean of Y = E(Y)
= no of people who were not accepted
No of people accepted
Approximately we get 840 so option d
