Question 1
What is the Z-score formula for approximating a binomial distribution?
π‘ Hint: Think about standard deviations.
Question 2

Question 1
A researcher finds that in a population of 1000 people, 40% are left-handed. If we sample 100 individuals, use the normal approximation to find the probability that at least 45 are left-handed.
π‘ Hint: Start with np and npq calculations.
Question 2
You conduct an experiment with 50 trials where the probability of success is 0.3. Use the normal approximation to find the probability of getting between 10 and 20 successes.
π‘ Hint: Don't forget to adjust your limits!
