When discussing crime prevention part of the analysis of the reasons for crime are based on the economic and social inequities that are part of our society. It focuses on the root causes of crime; unemployment, racial discrimination, substandard housing, inadequate schools, inconsistent parenting.
There is a school of thought that states that Situational Crime Prevention deals only with the symptoms of crime, not the root causes, and is therefore inadequate as a means of crime prevention.

A recent study reported that 51% of the children in a particular community were overweight or obese. Suppose a random sample of 500 public school children is taken from this community. Assume the sample was taken in such a way that the conditions for using the Central Limit Theorem are met. We are interested in finding the probability that the proportion of overweight/obese children in the sample will be greater than 0.47. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. . Calculate the probability that 47% or more of the sample are overweight or obese.
