Determine the number of outcomes in the event. then decide whether
Question 1
Determine the number of outcomes in the event. Then decide whether the event is a simple event or not. Explain your reasoning.
A computer is used to randomly select a number between 1 and 1000. Event A is selecting a number greater than 600.

A radio station claims that the amount of advertising per hour of broadcast time has an average of 17 minutes and a standard deviation equal to 2.7 minutes. You listen to the radio station for 1 hour, at a randomly selected time, and carefully observe that the amount of advertising time is equal to 11 minutes. Calculate the z–score for this amount of advertising time.
