 a)

0.87

 B)

0.10

 NS)

0.22

 D)

0.90

 TO)

0.58

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given : n=60 , p=0.1 , q=1-p=1-0.1=0.9

Here , np=60*0.1=6>5 and nq=60*0.9=54>5 , therefore use normal approximation.

Now , mean=μ=np=60*0.1=6 and standard deviation=σ=npq=60*0.1*0.9=2.3238

Here , we want to find the P(X≤6)
