Question 1166256
.
At the ministry of Health headquarters, you are in charge of rationing shangombo district 
the area affected by hunger.The following reports about daily calories value of food 
available per adult during current period arrive from your local investigators. 
The estimated requirement of an adult is taken at 3000 calories per day and the absolute minimum at 1250. 
Advise the ministry by commenting on the reported figures and determine which in your own opinion needs more urgent attention Area
mean standard deviation
X 2500 500
Y 2200 300
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Use online calculator for the normal distribution function under this link

This calculator provides the area under the normal curve on the left of the given mark.
It works in the same way as a standard function normalcdf().



              In this problem, the major concern is the population 

              below the absolute minimum of 1250 calories per day.



For region X, input the mean = 2500,  SD = 500 and take the option "below 1250 calories".


      Then the calculator gives the area of  0.0062  on the left of this mark,  
      which means that  0.62%  of population  X  is below the minimum food.



For region Y, input the mean = 2200,  SD = 300 and take the option "below 1250 calories"


      Then the calculator gives the area of  0.0008  on the left of this mark,  
      which means that  0.08%  of population  Y  is below the minimum food.



Naturally, region X is the greater concern.   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<U>ANSWER</U>
</pre>

Solved.


-----------------------------


In my reasoning above, I assumed that regions X and Y have approximately the same or comparable population.


If it is not so, then the final answer may change.
