Essay

If a computer statistical package were to simulate 500 random observations from a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ = 100 and standard deviation $\text { σ}$ = 50,what percentage of these observations would you expect to have a value of 200 or more? Do you think the actual number in the " ≥ 200" range would equal the expected number in this range? If so,why? If not,why not?
