After recording data for a whole year, you find that the mean number of women in shelters each night is 250, with a standard deviation of 75. Fortunately, the distribution of the number of women in the shelters each night is normal, so you can answer the following questions posed by city council.

a). If the city's shelters have a capacity of 350, will that be enough places for abused women on 95 percent of all nights? If not, what number of shelter openings will be needed?
