A company hosts a free flu shot clinic for their employees each year. The company finds that on average, each year 78% of their employees receive a flu shot. Suppose 45 employees are chosen at random. Find the probabilities of the following events. (a) Exactly 30 of those employees received a flu shot. (b) At most 35 of those employees received a flu shot.
