Answer:

4512 handshakes

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the question, that there are

96 people in the room = 48 couples

Assuming that no husband or wife shakes each others hand but everyone else shakes hands exactly once

This means

48 couples will shake 94 people because they are excluded

This is calculated as

48 × 94 = 4512 handshakes

The length of a text messaging conversation is normally distributed with a mean of 2 minutes and a standard deviation of 0.5 min
Hitman42 [59]
Given:
μ = 2 min, population mean
σ = 0.5 min, population standard deviation

We want to find P(x>3).

Calculate the z-score
 z= (x-μ)/σ = (3-2)/0.5 = 2

From standard tables, obtain
P(x ≤ 3) = P(z ≤ 2) = 0.9772
Therefore
P(x > 3) = P(z > 2) = 1 - 0.9772 = 0.0228

Answer: 0.02275
