A company that sells binders decides to run a promotion on their 1-inch and 2-inch size binders. Theydiscount the 1-inch binders to $1 per binder and discount the 2-inch binders to $2 per binder. They limitsales to a quantity of 5 of each size of binder per customer. The probability distribution of “X = the numberof 1-inch binders purchased by a single customer during the promotion period” is given in the table below.

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) found that the proportion of young adults ages 20–39 who regularly skip eating breakfast is 0.2380.238. Suppose that Lance, a nutritionist, surveys the dietary habits of a random sample of size ?=500n=500 of young adults ages 20–39 in the United States. Apply the central limit theorem to find the probability that the number of individuals, ?,X, in Lance's sample who regularly skip breakfast is greater than 126126. You may find table of critical values helpful. Express the result as a decimal precise to three places. Then, Apply the central limit theorem for the binomial distribution to find the probability that the number of individuals in Lance's sample who regularly skip breakfast is less than 9898. Express the result as a decimal precise to three places.
