Please help!

I do not understand the following question.

In studies for a medication, 9 percent of patients gained weight as a side effect. Suppose 460 patients are randomly selected. Use the normal approximation to the binomial to approximate the probability that

a) P(42) = (Round to four decimal places as needed) My answer done on a TI84 Plus was 0.0641

b) P(X 42) = (Round to four decimal places as needed)

c) P(X 51) = (Round to four decimal What are the steps for B and C?

Since 51 is more than 9% of patients, this suggests that the proportion of patients that gain weight as a side effect is greater than 0.09. ( got this one right)

places as needed)

b) my answer was 0.9359 and the correct answer is 0.5711

c) my answer was 0.9812 and the correct answer is 0.0691

How do I solve b and c?
