At a certain university, a large course has 1500 registered students; the course can be viewed online
Question:
a. What is the expected number of students to attend class in the lecture hall on a particular day?
b. If the registrar assigns a lecture hall with 500 seats for the class, what is the probability that the lecture hall overflows (i.e., strictly more than 500 attend) on a particular day?
c. To save money, the registrar wants to use an even smaller lecture hall next semester, but the professor insists on having enough seats so the probability is 95% (or more) of no overflow on a given day. How many seats does the professor need in her lecture hall?
