+490 Times for an ambulance to respond to a medical emergency in a certain town are normally distributed with a mean of 450 seconds and a standard deviation of 50 seconds.
Suppose there are 160 emergencies in that town.
In about how many emergencies are the response times expected between 400 seconds and 500 seconds?

80
