62% of adults in a population have an HDTV in their home. You randomly select 45 adults and ask them if they have an HDTV in their home. What is the probability that at most 20 of them respond yes? Use binomial distribution and normal distribution approximation. Compare your results.

A binomial experiment is given. Decide whether you can use the normal distribution to approximate the binomial distribution. If you can, find the mean and standard deviation. If you cannot, explain why. A survey of adults found that 61% have used a multivitamin in the past 12 months. You randomly select 50 adults and ask them if they have used a multivitamin in the past 12 months.
On Mary’s FACEBOOK page, there is a 42% chance that one of her friends will write on her wall. If she has 2400 “hits” on her page, can the probability that less than 1071 people write on her wall be modelled with a normal approximation? Explain/justify your answer.
The weights of steers in a herd are distributed normally. The variance is 10,000 and the mean steer weight is 1100⁢lbs. Find the probability that the weight of a randomly selected steer is between 919 and 1180⁢lbs. Round your answer to four decimal places.

Cody took his first physics exam and scored an 80. The population mean for this exam is 70, and the standard deviation is 5. What is the probability of selecting a person with a score greater than Cody’s?
A psychologist believes that 65% of male drivers when lost continue to drive hoping to find the location they seek rather than ask directions. To examine this belief, he took a random sample of 350 male drivers and asked each what they did when lost. Assume that the sampling distribution of the sample proportion of male drivers who continue driving is at least approximately normal. If the belief is true, determine the probability that less than 60% said they continue driving. Show your work below
