The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) found that the proportion of young adults ages 20–39 who regularly skip eating breakfast is 0.238. Suppose that Lance, a nutritionist, surveys the dietary habits of a random sample of size n = 500 of young adults ages 20–39 in the United States. Apply the cnormal to find the probability that the number of individuals, X, in Lance's sample who regularly skip breakfast is greater than 122. You may find table of critical values helpful. Express the result as a decimal precise to three places.

A pharmaceutical company is running trials on a new test for anabolic steroids. The company uses the test on 400 athletes known to be using steroids and 200 athletes known not to be using steroids. Of those using steroids, the new test is positive for 375 and negative for 25. Of those not using steroids, the test is positive for 25 and negative for 175. What is the relative frequency of a false negative result (the probability that an athlete using steroids will test negative)? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) What is the relative frequency of a false positive result (the probability that an athlete not using steroids will test positive)? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
