To solve this problem, we need to find the z-scores for the incomes $13,000 and $28,000, and then use a standard normal distribution table (also known as a z-table) to find the probabilities.

The formula for the z-score is:

z = (X - μ) / σ

where X is the income, μ is the mean income, and σ is the standard deviation.

For $13,000:
z = ($13,000 - $20,500) / $3,750 = -2

For $28,000:
z = ($28,000 - $20,500) / $3,750 = 2

Using a z-table, we find that the probability of an income less than $13,000 is approximately 0.0228 (P(z < -2)), and the probability of an income greater than $28,000 is also approximately 0.0228 (P(z > 2)).

Since the distribution is normal, the probability of an income between $13,000 and $28,000 is equal to 1 minus the sum of the probabilities of an income less than $13,000 and an income greater than $28,000:

P($13,000 < X < $28,000) = 1 - (0.0228 + 0.0228) = 0.9544

Since there are 400 employees, we can multiply this probability by 400 to find the expected number of employees with an income between $13,000 and $28,000:

0.9544 x 400 ≈ 381.76

Rounding to the nearest whole number, we expect approximately 382 employees to have an income between $13,000 and $28,000.

The closest answer choice is D. 390.

The problem involves finding the number of employees with incomes between \$13,000 and \$28,000 in a normally distributed dataset with a mean of \$20,500 and a standard deviation of \$3,750.

1. **Calculate z-scores**:
- For \$13,000:
\( z_1 = \frac{13,000 - 20,500}{3,750} = -2 \)
- For \$28,000:
\( z_2 = \frac{28,000 - 20,500}{3,750} = +2 \)

2. **Determine the area between z = -2 and z = +2**:
- Using the 68-95-99.7 rule, ~95% of data lies within ±2σ of the mean.
- Exact calculation via z-tables confirms the area is **95.44%** (0.9772 - 0.0228).

3. **Apply to total employees**:
- \( 0.9544 \times 400 \approx 381.76 \), which rounds to ~382.
- The closest answer choice is **D.390**, likely approximating 95.44% to 97.5% (e.g., rounding or assuming a minor deviation). Other options (A, B, C) are far too low.

To solve this problem, we need to find the z-scores for the incomes $13,000 and $28,000, and then use a standard normal distribution table (also known as a z-table) to find the probabilities.

The formula for the z-score is:

z = (X - μ) / σ

where X is the income, μ is the mean income, and σ is the standard deviation.

For $13,000:

z = ($13,000 - $20,500) / $3,750
z = -7,500 / 3,750
z = -2

For $28,000:

z = ($28,000 - $20,500) / $3,750
z = 7,500 / 3,750
z = 2

Now, we need to find the probabilities for z-scores of -2 and 2. Using a standard normal distribution table, we find that:

P(z < -2) = 0.0228
P(z < 2) = 0.9772

Since we want to find the probability of an income between $13,000 and $28,000, we need to subtract the probability of an income less than $13,000 from the probability of an income less than $28,000:

P($13,000 < X < $28,000) = P(z < 2) - P(z < -2)
= 0.9772 - 0.0228
= 0.9544

Since there are 400 employees, we can multiply the probability by 400 to find the expected number of employees with an income between $13,000 and $28,000:

Expected number of employees = 0.9544 x 400
= 381.76

Rounding to the nearest whole number, we expect approximately 382 employees to have an income between $13,000 and $28,000.

Qwen2-72B-Instruct To find the number of employees with an income between $13,000 and $28,000, we need to calculate the z-scores for both $13,000 and $28,000, and then find the area under the normal curve between those two z-scores.

The z-score formula is: \(z = \frac{(X - \mu)}{\sigma}\)

where \(X\) is the value of the variable, \(\mu\) is the mean, and \(\sigma\) is the standard deviation.

For $13,000:
\(z = \frac{(13000 - 20500)}{3750} = \frac{-7500}{3750} = -2\)

For $28,000:
\(z = \frac{(28000 - 20500)}{3750} = \frac{7500}{3750} = 2\)

According to the empirical rule (68-95-99.7 rule) for a normal distribution:
- About 68% of the data falls within one standard deviation of the mean.
- About 95% of the data falls within two standard deviations of the mean.
- About 99.7% of the data falls within three standard deviations of the mean.

Since we're looking for the data between two standard deviations below and two standard deviations above the mean, we're looking at approximately 95% of the data.

95% of 400 employees is \(0.95 \times 400 = 380\).

However, the options given do not include 380. The closest option to 380 is:

D. 390

So, the answer is D. 390. However, it's important to note that the exact calculation would require using the standard normal distribution table or a calculator to find the precise area under the curve between the z-scores of -2 and 2, which is slightly less than 95%. The empirical rule gives us a quick estimate, but for the sake of the multiple-choice question, the closest option is D.

Using the empirical rule for a normal distribution, about 68% of the data falls within one standard deviation of the mean, about 95% falls within two standard deviations, and about 99.7% falls within three standard deviations. The range $13,000 to $28,000 is within two standard deviations of the mean. So, we can expect a large majority (close to 95%) of the 400 employees to have incomes in this range, which is approximately 380, and the closest option is 390.

minimax To solve this problem, we need to use the properties of the normal distribution. We are given the mean income (μ = $20,500) and the standard deviation (σ = $3,750). We want to find the number of employees with incomes between $13,000 and $28,000.

First, we convert the income values to z-scores, which are the number of standard deviations away from the mean. The formula for a z-score is:

\[ z = \frac{(X - \mu)}{\sigma} \]

Where:
- \( X \) is the value we are converting to a z-score,
- \( \mu \) is the mean,
- \( \sigma \) is the standard deviation.

For $13,000:
\[ z_1 = \frac{($13,000 - $20,500)}{$3,750} = \frac{-$7,500}{$3,750} = -2 \]

For $28,000:
\[ z_2 = \frac{($28,000 - $20,500)}{$3,750} = \frac{$7,500}{$3,750} = 2 \]

Now we look up these z-scores in the standard normal distribution table or use a calculator to find the probabilities corresponding to these z-scores.

The z-score of -2 corresponds to a probability of approximately 0.0228 (or 2.28%), and the z-score of 2 corresponds to a probability of approximately 0.9772 (or 97.72%).

To find the proportion of employees earning between these two values, we subtract the smaller probability from the larger one:

\[ 0.9772 - 0.0228 = 0.9544 \]

This means that approximately 95.44% of the employees earn between $13,000 and $28,000.

Now we apply this percentage to the total number of employees:

\[ 0.9544 \times 400 = 381.76 \]

Since we cannot have a fraction of an employee, we round to the nearest whole number. Therefore, we expect approximately 382 employees to have an income between $13,000 and $28,000.

The closest answer choice to 382 is:

D. 390

So the answer is D.

kimi To solve this problem, we can use the empirical rule (also known as the 68-95-99.7 rule) for normal distributions. It states that approximately:

- 68% of the data falls within one standard deviation of the mean.
- 95% of the data falls within two standard deviations of the mean.
- 99.7% of the data falls within three standard deviations of the mean.

Given:
- Mean (μ) = $20,500
- Standard deviation (σ) = $3,750

We want to find the number of employees with incomes between $13,000 and $28,000.

First, calculate the boundaries of the range in terms of standard deviations from the mean:
- Lower boundary = Mean - 2 * Standard deviation = $20,500 - 2 * $3,750 = $13,000
- Upper boundary = Mean + 2 * Standard deviation = $20,500 + 2 * $3,750 = $28,000

According to the empirical rule, approximately 95% of the data falls within two standard deviations of the mean. Therefore, we expect about 95% of the employees to have incomes between $13,000 and $28,000.

To find the number of employees, multiply the percentage by the total number of employees:
0.95 * 400 = 380

So, the answer is approximately 380 employees.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to use the normal distribution and the 68-95-99.7 rule (also known as the empirical rule). This rule states that for a normal distribution:

* Approximately 68% of the data falls within 1 standard deviation of the mean.
* Approximately 95% of the data falls within 2 standard deviations of the mean.
* Approximately 99.7% of the data falls within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

Given:
Mean income = $20,500
Standard deviation = $3,750
Total number of employees = 400

We want to find the number of employees with an income between $13,000 and $28,000.

Calculating the z-scores:
z1 = ($13,000 - $20,500) / $3,750 = -2
z2 = ($28,000 - $20,500) / $3,750 = 2

So, we are looking for the area under the normal curve between z = -2 and z = 2.

Using the 68-95-99.7 rule, we know that approximately 95% of the data falls within 2 standard deviations of the mean. This means that approximately 95% of the employees have an income between $13,000 and $28,000.

Calculating the number of employees:
0.95 * 400 = 380

However, since the question asks for the expected number of employees, and the closest option to 380 is 390, we choose D. This is because in statistics, we often round to the nearest whole number, and in this case, rounding up to the nearest option (390) is more conservative and hence a safer bet.

Note: The exact answer using a normal distribution calculator would be closer to 380, but since we are limited to the options provided, D is the best choice.

zhipu To determine how many of the 400 employees have an income between $13,000 and $28,000, we need to use the properties of the normal distribution.

First, we calculate the z-scores for $13,000 and $28,000 using the formula:

\[ z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma} \]

where \( X \) is the value, \( \mu \) is the mean, and \( \sigma \) is the standard deviation.

For $13,000:
\[ z_{13,000} = \frac{13,000 - 20,500}{3,750} = \frac{-7,500}{3,750} = -2 \]

For $28,000:
\[ z_{28,000} = \frac{28,000 - 20,500}{3,750} = \frac{7,500}{3,750} = 2 \]

Next, we look up the z-scores in the standard normal distribution table or use a calculator to find the probabilities:

- The probability corresponding to \( z = -2 \) is approximately 0.0228.
- The probability corresponding to \( z = 2 \) is approximately 0.9772.

The probability that an employee's income is between $13,000 and $28,000 is the difference between these two probabilities:

\[ P(-2 \leq z \leq 2) = 0.9772 - 0.0228 = 0.9544 \]

To find the expected number of employees within this income range, we multiply this probability by the total number of employees:

\[ \text{Expected number} = 0.9544 \times 400 \approx 381.76 \]

Rounding to the nearest whole number, we get approximately 382 employees.

The closest answer choice to 382 is:

D. 390

So, the correct answer is D.
