In a game, you have found a reward with 15 treasure boxes. From experience you know that 1 in 5 treasure boxes contain rare items. a. You want to know the probability of having 4 rare items in your 15 treasure boxes. Can the normal approximation to the binomial distribution be used? Justify your answer and describe why it is important to check that the normal approximation can be used. I b. If you instead had 50 treasure boxes, could the normal approximation to the binomial distribution be used?
