You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question. In a certain political poll, each person polled has a 80% probability of telling his or her real preference. Suppose that 56% of the population really prefer candidate Goode and 44% prefer candidate Slick. First find the probability that a person polled will say that he or she prefers Goode. Now find the approximate probability that, if 1,000 people are polled, more than 51% will say that they prefer Goode. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
