Question

Please answer B, C, & D 

The problem addresses the distribution of ants per acre in a forest.

Given:
- The number of ants per acre is normally distributed with a mean (\(\mu\)) of 42,000 and a standard deviation (\(\sigma\)) of 12,394.
- Let \(X\) represent the number of ants in a randomly selected acre.

Tasks:
a. **Distribution of X**: \(X \sim N(42000, 12394)\)

b. **Probability Calculation**: Find the probability that a randomly selected acre has fewer than 32,435 ants. (Answer not provided in image)

c. **Probability Calculation**: Find the probability that a randomly selected acre has between 43,906 and 55,973 ants. (Answer not provided in image)

d. **First Quartile**: Calculate the first quartile, rounding the answer to a whole number. (Answer not provided in image)

The tasks involve calculating probabilities and quartiles based on the normal distribution parameters provided.
