Question

"The number of accidents..." please help with iv

The number of accidents per week at a hazardous intersection varies with mean 2.2 and standard deviation 1.4. This distribution takes only whole-number values, so it is
certainly not Normal.
(i). Let X be the mean number of accidents per week at the intersection during a year (52 weeks). What is the approximate distribution of X?
(ii). What is the approximate probability that X is less than 2? Show your work and include appropriate graphs of normal density curves of X and Z as illustration.
(iii). What is the approximate probability that there are fewer than 100 accidents at the intersection in a year? (Hint: Restate this event in terms of X.)
(iv). Approximately at least how many accidents per week at this intersection will we observe for 95% of the time?
