Let X denote the number of flaws along a 100-m reel of magnetic tape (an integer-valued variable). Suppose X has approximately a normal distribution with u = 25 and o = - 5. Use the continuity correction to calculate the probability that the number of flaws is a. Between 20 and 30, inclusive. b. At most 30. Less than 30.
