Answer 1

Answer: Number of residents live in south region= 672 residents.

Explanation:

Given:- Total residents in the city =4200

let A be the event of residents live in south region the,

Probability of residents live in south region P(A) = 0.16

So, Number of residents live in south region=Product of probability of residents live in south region and total residents in the city =0.16×4200=672 residents.

Answer 2

Since there are a total of 4,200 residents and the question is asking for the amount in the south region, take the distribution number from the chart, 0.16, and multiply it by 4,200.
4200 ×.16 = 672

672 residents
