Google recently came in at number four on CNN Money's list of the 100 best companies to work for. Free gourmet lunches and snacks, freedom to bring pets to work, and free fitness classes are among some of the employee perks at Google. AS part of the application process, each candidate must pass an entrance exam. The candidate scores on the Google entrance exam follow a normal distribution with a mean of 60 points and a standard deviation of 12 points. • A candidate who scores more than 75 points on the entrance exam is a "top performer" and is automatically asked for a phone interview. • A candidate who scores in the top 30% of the distribution is invited to take the entrance exam again within two weeks of the original exam date. Otherwise a candidate must wait at least 1 vear before attempting the exam again

Google recently came in at number four on CNN Money's list of the 100 best companies to work for. Free gourmet lunches and snacks, freedom to
bring pets to work, and free fitness classes are among some of the employee perks at Google. As part of the application process, each candidate must
pass an entrance exam. The candidate scores on the Google entrance exam follow a normal distribution with a mean of 60 points and a standard
deviation of 12 points.
• A candidate who scores more than 75 points on the entrance exam is a "top performer" and is automatically asked for a phone interview.
A candidate who scores in the top 30% of the distribution is invited to take the entrance exam again within two weeks of the original exam date.
• Otherwise a candidate must wait at least 1 year before attempting the exam again.

Suppose 200 candidates are selected at random.
5.e
Let Y= the number of candidates that invited to take the entrance exam again within two weeks of the original exam date in a random sample of 200
candidates.
1. What is the exact model of Y? Provide all the details of the distribution including any appropriate parameters.
2. What model would you use to approximate the probability that 50 or fewer candidates are invited to take the entrance exam again within two
weeks of the original exam date? Be sure to: (a) check what is needed to be able to use the approximate approach (b) provide all work when
calculating the appropriate parameters of the approximate model.
3. Find the approximate probability that 50 or fewer candidates are invited to take the entrance exam again within two weeks of the original exam
date.
As always, be sure to include all the needed work to determine the approximate probability.
• Include (upload) an image (hand sketch or shiny app) that shows the area of the approximate probability using the normal approximation.
(Note: as always, include a title (distribution label with attribution) for your image or sketch.)
Clearly label your solution with part 1, part 2, part 3
