Suppose that X has a binomial distribution with n=201 and p=0.49. Show that the normal approximation to the binomial can appropriately be used to calculate probabilities about x.

  1. np = ?
  2. n(1-p) = ?

Make continuity corrections for each of the following, and then use the normal approximation to the binomial to find each probability.

  1. P(x=82)
  2. P(x<=99)
  3. P(x<74)
  4. P(x>=100)
  5. P(x>104)
