A population of red-bellied snakes is known to have a ratio of grey color morph to red color morph of 53:47. You wish to know the probability of selecting a random sample of 20 snakes containing 5 or fewer red morph individuals. (a) Use a statistical program to determine the exact probability of getting five or fewer grey morph individuals. (b) Now use the normal approximation of the binomial distribution to answer the same question. Compare
