A certain population consists of 5000 individuals. Of these, 52% are female and 48% are male. The experiment consists of randomly selecting ? = 40 individuals, without replacement. a.) Determine the probability that at least 18 females are selected, but not more than 21 females are selected. b.) Approximate your answer in part a.
