Answer:  there are 22 observations that are more than 116.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the random variable.

Given: Sample size = 950

Mean = 78

Standard deviation = 19

The probability that the observations are more than 116 is given by :-

[tex]P(X>116)=P(\dfrac{X-mean}{standard \ deviation}>\dfrac{116-78}{19})\\\\=P(Z>2)\\\\=1-P(Z<2)\\\\=1-0.9772\ \ \ [\text{Using p-value calculator}]\\\\=0.0228[/tex]

Number of observations are more than 116 = [tex]0.0228\times950[/tex]

[tex]=21.66\approx22[/tex]

Hence, there are 22 observations that are more than 116.
