A new military defense system is tested. It is found that 1 out of 10 missiles fired on ground objects are off-target The system needs to be used for firing 450 missiles during a potential military attack. Apply Normal approximation to calculate the following probabilities. Click here to view page 1 of the standard normal distribution table Click here to view page 2 of the standard normal distribution table. (a) The probability that more than (>) 50 missiles will be off-target is (Round to four decimal places including any zeros.) (b) The probability that less than (<) 32 missiles will be off-target is (Round to four decimal places including any zeros.) (c) The probability that at least (2) 40 but less than (<) 52 missiles will be off-target is (Round to four decimal places including any zeros.)
