Answer:
The probability of of a randomly chosen student being exactly 21 years old.
= 1.293
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>
<em>Given Population size n = 500</em>
<em>Mean of the Population = 20 years and 6 months</em>
<em> = </em><em></em>
<em>Standard deviation of the Population = 2 years</em>
Let 'X' be the range of ages of the students on campus follows a normal distribution
Let x =21
<em>The probability of a randomly chosen student being exactly 21 years old.</em>
<em>P( Z≤21) = 0.5 + A( 0.2) </em>
= 0.5 +0.793
= 1.293
We have that the total students there are 500. The 12-graders there are 200. Probability is defined as the ratio of positive outcomes of an event, over all the possible outcomes. Suppose we pick student randomly. Then, there are 200 positive outcomes (positive outcome: we pick a student in 12th grade) and there are totally 500 outcomes (we can pick 500 students in total from Riverside High School). This ratio gives: 
. The requested probability is 0.40
