In studies for a medication, 15 percent of patients gained weight as a side effect. Suppose 615 patients are randomly selected. Use the normal approximation to the binomial to approximate the probability that A: exactly 93 will gain weight B: No more than 93 will gain weight C: At least 105 will gain weight.
