A study on aggressive driving found that 50 % of drivers say
that they have yelled at another driver. A random sample of 180
drivers in Halifax is selected and are asked whether they have
yelled at other drivers.
a. What is the probability that at least 85 drivers will say
”yes”, they have yelled at another driver? [Hint: use normal
approximation]

Find the probability of more than 30 heads in 50 flips of a fair
coin by using the normal approximation to the binomial
distribution.
a) Check the possibility to meet the requirements to use normal
approximation (show your calculation)
b) Find the normal parameters of the mean(Mu) and standard
deviation from the binomial distribution.

Suppose that on average 2 people in a major city die each year
from alien attack. Suppose that each attack is random and
independent.
(a) If X is the number of deaths from alien attack within the
next year from a randomly selected major city, what type of random
variable is X?

that the next major city you visit will have at least 3 deaths due
to alien attack?

Question of probability and stats:
An airline finds that, on the average, 3% of the persons who
reserve seats for a certain flight do not turn up for the flight.
Consequently, the airline decides to allow 200 people to reserve
seats on a plane which can only accommodate 196 passengers. Use the
Poisson approximation to the binomial distribution to calculate the
probability that there will be a seat available for every person
who has reserved a seat and who turns...
