Math Problem Statement
The amount of time a certain brand of light bulb lasts is normally distributed with a mean of 1100 hours and a standard deviation of 60 hours. Out of 375 freshly installed light bulbs in a new large building, how many would be expected to last between 1050 hours and 1140 hours, to the nearest whole number?
