A farmer uses artificial insemination to impregnate his cows. This method has an 80% success rate. • Suppose 100 cows are selected at random to be inseminated. Find the mean and standard deviation of this binomial distribution. • Suppose 100 cows are selected at random to be inseminated. Use the normal approximation to the binomial distribution to find the probability that 75 or more cows become pregnant.

About 78% of all female heart transplant patients will survive for at least 3 years seventy female transplant patients are randonly selected. What is the probability that the sample proportion surving for at least 3 years will be less than 72%? Assume the sampling distribution of sample proportions is a normal distribution. The mean of the sample proportion is equal to the population proportion and the standard deviation is equal to pq/n. The probability that the sample proportion surviving for at least 3 years will be less than 72% is ____________. Round answer to four decimal places.

The probability that a patient recover from a rare blood disease is 0.6. It is known that 100 people have contracted this disease. It is desired to find the probability that less than one half survive. For easier computations, normal distribution is used to approximate this binomial distribution. Find the value of the standard deviation to be used in the computation.
Suppose a manufacturer produces light bulbs and claims that their average lifespan is 1000 hours with a standard deviation of 100 hours. If a random sample of 50 light bulbs is taken, what is the probability that the average lifespan of the sample will be greater than 1050 hours? And how does this probability change if the sample size is increased to 100?
