Suppose that historically, 35% of applicants that are offered admittance to Texas Tech actually enroll, while the others take offers somewhere else. If Texas Tech will accept 9300 this coming year, what is the probability that less than 3250 will actually enroll? Use the normal approximation to the binomial. P(X < 3250)
Suppose that 5 friends go to a carnival and each tries once to pop a balloon with a dart to win a prize. Jen plays darts regularly and will pop a balloon on 80% of her attempts, Bob has never thrown a dart and will pop a balloon only 25% of the time, and the 3 other friends will all pop a balloon about half the time. Let X be the number of balloons popped by the 5 friends. Does X have a binomial distribution?
