Assume that the normal distribution can be used to approximate the following binomial distribution question. A survey of adults found that 6% say their favorite sport is auto racing. You randomly select 400 adults and ask them to name their favorite sport. Complete parts (a) and (b). (a) Find the probability that the number of people who say auto racing is their favorite sport is at most 30. (b) Find the probability that the number of people who say auto racing is their favorite sport is more than 33. (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
(1) A survey found that 35% of pet owners had their pets bathed professionally rather than do it themselves.

Lawrence likes to shoot a bow and arrow in his free time. On any shot, he has about a 10% chance of hitting the bull's-eye. As a challenge one day, Lawrence decides to keep shooting until he gets a bull's-eye. Let Y = the number of shots he takes. Does this scenario describe a binomial setting? Justify your answer. Yes, this is a binomial setting and X has a binomial distribution with n = 10 and p = 0.10. No, this is not a binomial setting because the probability of success is not the same for each trial. No, this is not a binomial setting because the trials are not independent. No, this is not a binomial setting because there are not a fixed number of trials. No, this is not a binomial setting because the given scenario is not binary.
