Problem 5.T.3c
In Exercises 5 and 6, determine whether you can use a normal distribution to approximate the binomial distribution. If you can, use the normal distribution to approximate the indicated probabilities and sketch their graphs. If you cannot, explain why and use a binomial distribution to find the indicated probabilities.
A survey of U.S. undergraduates found that 37% of those attending in-state colleges would prefer to take a job in a different state after graduation. You randomly select 18 U.S. undergraduates attending in-state colleges. Find the probability that the number who would prefer to take a job in a different state after graduation is (c) at least 10. Identify any unusual events. Explain.
Problem 5.R.13c
An auto parts seller finds that 1 in every 200 parts sold is defective. Use the geometric distribution to find the probability that (c) none of the first 20 parts sold are defective.
Problem 5.C.4a
Use the probability distribution in Exercise 3 to find the probability of randomly selecting a game in which DeMar DeRozan had (a) fewer than four personal fouls,
