at a community event, a vendor lets attendees spin their prize wheel. the wheel consists of 5 colored sections that the vendor claims to be equally likely . one of the sections is labeled "winner!" a diligent observer records the outcome of 75 spins. Let X= the number of spins that results in a win. show that the probability distribution of X is approximately normal.
